I wonder what would happen to someone's mind if they were born in a white (or any color) isolation tank. What would happen as years wore on? Would the person ever hallucinate anything? It has only seen the tank for his whole life. So what would inspire him to hallucinate something? Can he hallucinate, say, a friend staring at him from across the void without ever seeing a friend or anything for that matter except the white isolation tank. Would he dream and what would he dream of? Would dreaming become one with waking? Would he even know what a dream is? He has never heard the word "dream" spoken out loud. But he knows which worlds decay faster or are more "curvy" in the world-line sense: dreams decay faster or are more "curvy" than waking events. So, locally, we usually know when it's a dream. When the event world-line is straight, that means we pretty much never know what is a dream and what is "real"?
