Itās just fascinating. For example, recently I died in a dream but only briefly. I had a heart attack then my visual field went static black - like a short circuiting TV set. After someone revived me, an old friend put her fingers on my carotid pulse and said, āyour heartbeatās as erratic as a golden retriever.ā I awoke convinced death is like ācutting to blackā. Or at least ācutting toā. With distance, itās bizarre to me that I gave the dream creedence. But I suppose thatās how your unconscious convinces you of things; definitively but not necessarily with empirical evidence.
