Intuitive Memory

[Grayman]

I have realized that my subconscious has a memory shelved off from my conscious mind. My intuition seems to be able to use a lot of different data and send them to me in feelings and image. The data comes in as a story in my head like a vision but the process is done as if daydreaming. I can see my vision or see whats in front of me but when seeing the vision my real sight becomes blurry.

Overloading the details: (Read at your own risk of wasted time)
The problem is that my conscious memory access is horrible. I can pull up random data but to access data in a linear fashion is more difficult. Lately I have been having more issues with linear mental lists and names. I cannot recal names but I can see the person in my head as a 3D model and feel who they are. I have known these people for awhile and suddenly I cannot recal their name. It is like I can feel their name but it won't come out of my mouth. When recalling lists I feel like I have to do so many things at once but I cannot define a single task to a point that I can initiate doing it. I realized that I used to handle my lists by holding a picture of the list in my head and then going through the list as displayed but when trying to simply follow the list through verbal step by step memorization, I lose everything and can only remember maybe a single step out of ten and it is rarely in the beginning. Spelling errors and dyslexia of my words are becoming more common. I feel like I am losing my grip on the order of my thoughts when expressed verbally or linearily, even though internally everything seem more and more clear. Everything in my head is not a linear straight line of thought though. Even the wrong words come out, just because they sound similar, when speaking.

I am curious MBTI intuition (Ne) is supposed to get information from the subconsciuos shadow Se function. I am also wondering if it is possible to overload yourself with (Ne) or if maybe this is a problem elsewhere. I guess I get the impression that my Ne is trying to dominate my Ti but it is not used to handling the main workload since I have always reigned in my Ne with my Ti in control.
I am also curious if everyone else's Ne works through an inner vision of image and feeling instead of a more verbal knowing of a single answer. I kind of theorized the first being Ne and the second being Ni.

I'm not sure if this can be related, but there are times when i get overloaded with brainstorming. Under normal circumstances i use Ne in form of images and entire concepts which i later describe in words. I don't handle remembering lists unless i understand the issue. When i do i recreate the list when needed in a way i would initially make it.
Back to the overloading, when i am mentally exhausted, my Ti is handicapped heavily, however my intuition goes normally or even faster and simply floods my mind with images and sounds. This is usually the time i need to get some sleep. If i don't go to sleep in this phase i develop severe headaches.

I personally develop anxiety attacks and sometimes panic attacks if don't force myself to stop that overloading. I theorized elsewhere that thru such brainstorming the brain ends up overworking and therefore consuming more calories / sugar hence hypoglycemic symptoms ! Next time you have such headaches have something to eat, with me, usually a large meal stops this overloading / brainstorming process within minutes ! And if you want to accelerate it (as sometimes it's way too good !), fast from food and drink coffee instead !

Also i theorized elsewhere that overloading / brainstorming is a Ne-Fe loop with strong intuitions and emotions tied to them.

This is what Carl Jung calls "ACTIVE IMAGINATION", he says thru this process maturation of the Ego (towards the realization of the Self) is quickened:

As developed by Carl Jung between 1913 and 1916, active imagination is a meditation technique wherein the contents of one's unconscious are translated into images, narrative or personified as separate entities. It can serve as a bridge between the conscious 'ego' and the unconscious and includes working with dreams and the creative self via imagination or fantasy. Jung linked Active Imagination with the processes of alchemy in that both strive for oneness and inter-relatedness from a set of fragmented and dissociated parts.
Key to the process of active imagination is the goal of exerting as little influence as possible on mental images as they unfold. For example, if a person were recording a spoken visualization of a scene or object from a dream, Jung's approach would ask the practitioner to observe the scene, watch for changes, and report them, rather than to consciously fill the scene with one's desired changes. One would then respond genuinely to these changes, and report any further changes in the scene. This approach is meant to ensure that the unconscious contents express themselves without overbearing influence from the conscious mind. At the same time, however, Jung was insistent that some form of participation in active imagination was essential: 'You yourself must enter into the process with your personal reactions...as if the drama being enacted before your eyes were real'.
Of the origination of active imagination, Jung wrote:

"It was during Advent of the year 1913 – December 12, to be exact – that I resolved upon the decisive step. I was sitting at my desk once more, thinking over my fears. Then I let myself drop. Suddenly it was as though the ground literally gave way beneath my feet, and I plunged into the dark depths."

Further explaining its origination, Jung describes his conclusion that active imagination spawns from the desires and fantasies of the unconscious mind, which ultimately want to become conscious. But once they are realized by the individual, dreams may become "weaker and less frequent" whereas they may have been quite vivid and recurring beforehand.

Carl Jung developed this technique as one of several that would define his distinctive contribution to the practice of psychotherapy. Active imagination is a method for visualizing unconscious issues by letting them act themselves out. Active imagination can be done by visualization (which is how Jung himself did it), which can be considered similar in technique at least to shamanic journeying. Active imagination can also be done by automatic writing, or by artistic activities such as dance, music, painting, sculpting, ceramics, crafts, etc. Jung considered indeed that 'The patient can make himself creatively independent through this method...by painting himself he gives shape to himself'. Doing active imagination permits the thoughtforms of the unconscious, or inner 'self', and of the totality of the psyche, to act out whatever messages they are trying to communicate to the conscious mind.

For Jung however, this technique had the potential not only to allow communication between the conscious and unconscious aspects of the personal psyche with its various components and inter-dynamics, but also between the personal and 'collective' unconscious; and therefore was to be embarked upon with due care and attentiveness. Indeed, he warned with respect to '"active imagination"...The method is not entirely without danger, because it may carry the patient too far away from reality'. The post-Jungian Michael Fordham was to go further, suggesting that 'active imagination, as a transitional phenomenon ...can be, and often is, both in adults and children put to nefarious purposes and promotes psychopathology'.

Active imagination removes traits and characterists that are in a dream and the person with active imagination starts to see them as their own traits. Much of his later work was conceived as a comparative historical study of the active imagination and the individuation process in various cultures and epochs, conceived as a normative pattern of human development and the basis of a general scientific psychology.

First time I've heard. Please elaborate.
