ABSTRACT
The mind, when asleep, gives rise to dreaming, which is a basic form of thinking. Thinking is the process by which the mental image of the object of thought is manipulated independently in the imagination. But human beings are always thinking of ways to improve, or make progress, by imagining a future state and how they are to attain it. Thinking can be of four kinds, or modes, it can be suggested. There is thinking as being. This is the thinking about the human state and condition. This is the background thinking to all that we do. It is a bit like white noise; always present. Thinking as dreaming is the way that human beings emotionally experiment with their daily actions while they are asleep. The thinking that produced quantum physics took place in the interaction between and within the four modes of thinking, taking into account the existing scientific knowledge contained in the established domains of thought.
