I love that the brain still relies on real-life data on the world it creates, and when it gets you into shit you’ve never experienced even remotely, and thus doesn’t know how to handle, the simulation just kinda freezes.
Oh, you were just thrown a few hundred {yards,meters} by a trebuchet, but don’t know how it feels to be squished to death? Ok, happy walking away with a strange feeling.

I’ve heard that the brain isn’t really capable of creating unique faces, so when you see people in a dream - even if they seem random to you, they’re probably just someone you saw in passing (on the streets, online, etc) which is interesting!
Realistically there isn’t a way to reliably test that theory, but it definitely makes sense to me at least.

Yeah me too, totally, you fucking psycho. That’s the best part of nightmares…
