Do you ever in the day think about breathing? Then you cant auto breath anymore and have to think about every breath?

But what Zadra finds much more fascinating (and uncommon) is phantom pain: the kind your brain produces and plays out entirely within the confines of the dream, whether by cribbing off a memory of hurt you once felt, or something you maybe saw on Game of Thrones. ''[People] will wake up from instances where they were being tortured, or they had a spear in their ribs, and describe it as horrendous or unbearable,'' says Zadra. ''But the pain sensation disappears the second they wake up.'' That physical pain has no actual source in the real world, he says.

(Shadow - I wonder if perhaps that is wrong, and instead it is an *intensification* of pain that is minor or almost non-existant.)

I do it with a lot of stuff, if I overthink it I 'forget' how to do it. Like writing, or walking. If I think about walking, my legs go all squiffy
