2) I've never exprienced a charging boar, but I've experienced other significantly dangerous events, and I'm pretty sure I was aware not only of the singular fact of the threat, but of many individual aspects in the environment. And yet, they were bound together by some kind of unifying factor-- maybe "me," or maybe something else.
