...To make any sense...  it was necessary.


I think that is based on the belief of the power of suggestion... some would
say that you can causethings to happen to the human body by a strong enough
suggestion.  Faith healers work on this premise (not that I believe in that
it is just an example of where the idea came from).  There have been stories
of people under hypnosis exhibiting burn marks after touching something that
is room temperature, because it has been suggested to them that it was hot
enough to burn them... I don not know how true any of this is, but the point
is that if you believe in these things, it is easy to believe that a dream
that your mind concieves as being real could have an effect on your body...

It is the ultimate way  of phyching yourself out...  kind of like scaring
yourself to death... are there any documented cases of that?  (I am curious)
