I really like the way you put that! It reminds me of the feeling of coming back from a dissociative salvia state of mind, where the first sensory signals that you (re)percieve are profoundly influencing your perception.

But how does this fit together with the range of focus that human minds usually have? This could also imply, that we shift the point of attention mostly by our senses, but what about psychological guiding of "dreaming"?
