A phantom limb is a reality in an amputees mind. Evaluate a different situation where a reality only exists in a persons mind. Have you ever experienced a reality that only existed in your mind?
A different situation where a reality only exists in a persons mind would be when they are unconscious and have a dream. Yes, I have experienced a reality that only existed in my mind whenever I sleep. The dreams that I have seem very real to me, although I can tell that it is a dream; sometimes I think I’m awake and outside of the dream but that is a dream within a dream. Eventually you figure out which is reality(real life) and which is the alternate reality made in your head based on how much memory you have of the things that you saw occur, but sometimes you can’t tell the difference, and that is when it feels real. In the dreams sometimes the images are clear and sometimes they are blurry but the feelings, emotions, and things that i sense feel very real to me. I can taste how good a weirdly shaped cake is that was baked in the snow, or smell how bad that bright green odor is from that nasty looking egg on the white plate next to the cat in the hat. I can actually feel the people in my dreams grab my wrist and drag me away or be afraid and anxious that I will get arrested for stealing my own socks from the deformed animal gurad-police that was patrolling the lazered bank pedestal. All things I encounter in my dreams feel as real as day, the fear, curiosity, confusion, and everything in between. The only catch from believing that the howling werewolves are chasing me forever or that a lovely day at the fair will last forever is that I can tell when it is a dream and that either dissappoints me or alleviates me to the point of wary anticipation.
