We wax, We wane

Rhinos progress from one minute to the next, Shifting in multiple ways from one level of consciousness to another. For each step, there are Developments, some exhilarating, some demoralizing, but all part of a minute-to-minute tapestry which is Us.

This question is all about the Inner Rhino. On the outside, We may look the same. But inside, We are awash with ever-enhanced Awarenesses.

Some other Critters might find this all disorienting, but not We. For Us, being only semi-Cohesive, this is Normalcy.

Dreamland

Rhinos have unusual sleep patterns; none of this 8 hours a night business. We just go to sleep when We are saggy, and fidget forth when We are awake.

Also, We have other mental states, where the edges are fuzzy. Sometimes We are Asleep-ish, or Awake-ish, though the states are not identical.

Or Hypnotize-ish. Though just how that works is hard to recall, for the most part. Rhinos are pretty Suggestible.

on our minds

We sometimes get questions about the mumbling We Rhinos are prone to. It is so common that We don’t remark upon it amongst ourselves.

Muttering is part of a running interior dialogue each Rhino maintains during consciousness, keeping track of developments. Sizing things up. Pondering the “what ifs”.

Generally speaking, there is no marked emotional component to mumbling. As We say, with Rhinos it is the Norm.
