Thread: question on dreams...please share your thoughts

You experienced it, so why wouldn't it be able to. If you remember how it felt, consciously or even maybe sub-consciously, of course it can duplicate it.
If it only happened a month ago then even better, the memory is fresh.

I have been having falling dreams for the last 30 years, not until a month ago did I actually physically experience falling

Not once have you experienced falling before that time? Hm. I'm not sure. It doesn't seem like that much of a leap. The brain is the most powerful computer known to man kind. If it can give rise to a sentient being, I don't see why it couldn't simulate falling.

you may not recall experiencing something like that, but your inner ear does. behold, the power of equilibrioception.

I think it would take a substantial fall to recreate the gut wrenching feeling felt in my dreams, I don't think a five foot fall is far enough to imprint the subconscious . The feeling of weightlessness can be felt in a dream but it takes a parachute the recreate this feeling physically.
