        Does that mean that there are actually three worlds we live in? I mean, our mind, the objective reality, and then the images we see-predict?

        I've always found it interesting how much energy it seems to take to keep your vision truly "in the space". Its like your brain is highly inclined to get a snapshot and use that information as long as it can.
