CL,
Who knows what this kind of deprivation does to people's minds. It's *not a dream* either, during dreams the brain is in principle fully functional and when we wake up, the usual mechanisms for reality checking do their thing. We evolved to be functional in the real world despite having dreams. In these extreme experiences, the brain does not operate properly. You can't compare the two except to note that dreams show us that our mind is capable of astonishing fabrications.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
