Scientists are puzzled that brain activity drops when a person is 'hallucinating'. You'd expect bran activity to go up, if the brain is creating all of these images. What they're not getting is that the brain produces NO images. What we perceive every day isn't in the brain. Our perceptions are the world itself, shaped by our body's action in it. If you're awake and alert, the world as you see it isn't actually the world. Your eyes aren't windows. It's the world presented to you according to your potential action in it. Something looks close or far away, because physically that's your body's current physical relationship to that thing. When you sleep or take drugs, that potential action goes and the world looks COMPLETELY different. As in this image. Perception is only about action, it's not a window onto the world. Your dreams are the world as it is when you're not acting in it, they're not 'in your head'.
