when you ask ppl how they think, are they "actually" telling you? or are they translating it? (is there a difference?)

It depends on the reason it happens, but it's just the possibility of some people never growing beyond pop entertainment even when it comes to near physiological functions.

you’re missing the point, it’s not that peoples dreams ‘really’ changed, it’s just the language and metaphors the culture provided them to describe it
