Kinda like multiple monitors on a computer. It's possible to see both at once. I do often do my best sleeping in bed at night with my eyes closed however.
- mewpmewp2 3y agoBut with multiple monitors you have to look at one at a time, and if you do that you won't see the others? So if you are focusing on a visual thought shouldn't you be unable to see the real world? Or you are kind of zoomed out far enough that you do, but then you are seeing it side by side with real world? But still then are one of those things more blurry depending on where you focus exactly? It is fascinating to try and understand it. It doesn't feel like I can relate to it at all or see how it is possible.
