Thread: New Texture?

Hey Uppity,

I think your mind can combine a variety of sensations and senses to come up with a new experience that's hard to put into words.

I saw a post on here where the question of inventing a color came up - a dreamer saw what he/she thought was a color that didn't exist before. So, as for textures, why not?

Joe it's impossible to see a new color in a dream. First of all, if they go to describe it in any way to people who haven't seen it, it's certainly not a new color. Secondly, the brain can trick someone into believeing they saw a new color by modifying the memory. Often if someone sees an incredibly bright color on something where the color doesn't belong, they say its a "new color." Imagine what the color Yuo looks like. You can't without basing it on a color you already know. Realize that dreaming is basically very very extensive imagining, so if you can't imagine it you can't dream it.

Anyways, as Joe said, it's the texture on the experience (just as the color placement makes you think its a new color) is what makes the texture seem knew. You definitly combine memories of sensations/senses as Joe said to make you think it is a new texture.
