But I know they aren't real as in caused externally by actual
sound. They're not drug induced nor are they psychosis.

The medical society does not' KNOW what causes them AFAIK but I'd like
to find out. :) As for the blood flow.. that is real. One theory is
that they are MEMORY 'echos' in the same way you 'visualize' something
you've seen. It's not a hallucination. It's a manifestation of the
memory. I'll find out more on this.

 That's interesting. I do.. maybe memory impressions are stronger in
some of us than others. I know some people can't 'visualize' things
they've seen. Such as, 'can you picture a waterfall? I can. I know
it's not real but I can visualize it consciously the way you would in
in a dream.


BTW everybody. I'd like to find out about tactile/olfactory and taste
memories. I don't have those but wonder if perhaps the born deaf or
born blind do. How for example, if they do, does a blind person dream?
Someone I had ventured discussing this with suggested they dream in
colors/textures and sounds perhaps taste ? Touch?

And then again how come our memory impressions of sight and sound are
so much stronger so as to be able to experience them awake? And even
in dreams, I've never had a 'taste/touch/ or smell' sensation.
((Though you might if say you're just waking up and thought you dreamt
the smell of coffee but then you wake up and that's what it is. :)
