Hey DV, so I've been thinking about this for awhile and I'd like to know your thoughts. I have this theory, that in our minds we have a data bank of some sort that reacts to certain bodily feelings. And when these feelings are applied the brain makes the nervous system react to how the certain feeling would be in real life. For example, I have been shot in a dream, and I felt a realistic nerve shattering pain when it happened unlike anything I've ever felt IRL. Another example is I've spilled a hot substance all over myself and it burned in a realistic way. This is a weird one, but I've had sex in dreams(I'm sure everyone has) but not in real life(yet ). But I felt pleasures unlike anything I've felt IRL before. Is it possible our mind and nervous system know what these feelings really feel like, but have to be trigger in order to apply them? Could this be why people actually die from dying in dreams? I know there are some holes, but I was just wondering about this. Any thoughts?
