Philosophy Wire: Imagination. Experience. Forest. Tree.

New brain imaging research shows that imagining a threat lights up similar regions as experiencing it does. It suggests imagination can be a powerful tool in overcoming phobias or post-traumatic stress. [1] Experience triggering the brain. Our own free will triggering the brain. Experience formulating our will. Our will formulating experience. But can you dream of anything else than trees, when sleeping in a forest? Can you be anywhere else than in a forest, when wishing for a tree? The cosmos formulates us. We formulate the cosmos. At the end nothing really happens. And everything at the same time. 

Open your eyes.
There is nothing to imagine.
Unless you have no imagination…

Sleep tight.
There is nothing to dream of!
Unless you cannot sleep…
