I'd like to respond empathatically this way...
We all appreciate the fact dreams occur.
I'd like to stay close to physics, is it possible
a cosmic ray could hit the brain and produce
a stimulating effect as I described?

I'd like to confine this threads inquire to that
issue possiblitiy, aside from dreams.
