Ophelia,
I have seen inside many minds, in various different ways.
The first, most conventional and least alarming-- much like your corridor stroll analogy-- is through legilimency. I am myself quite skilled and have on occasion been able to use this ability to tug memories from their organized little nooks and crannies. If the subject is willing and complacent, it can actually be quite easy to remove said memories and take a sight-see around.
The second, much like the first, is through use of a pensive to review such memories. Often more structured than a particularly tumultuous mind, the pensive provides great insight into what one feels and experiences in those moments showcased that can sometimes be harder to glean directly from the source.
And the third I hesitate to detail at all. It was a curse, I can say at least that much. A curse that has tied my soul to anothers' of parallel likeness and circumstance. There are lapses, on occasion, where I can see into his mind and he into mine. It is chaos beyond that which I care to revisit in the few waking hours I share not. But know, if nothing else, this last method is at once horrid and devastatingly meaningful. More than any other such form of mind invasion. There is nothing that can be hidden on either side of the exchange.
As such, with these multi-faceted experiences under my wing, I take great interest in your threads. It is a curiosity to me that relieves the boredom of this place and-- though I would be loathe to admit having said as much-- I do thank you for your indulgence. If your mind begs you to write what your threads bind, know that you will always have an eager ear that is only an owl's flight away.
Hamlet.
