do mental images physically exist?
If you imagine something, wouldn’t it be real for that second inside of your head? if you can see something in your head then it has to exist somewhere, whether it’s just a bunch of electrical and chemical reactions creating something in your head or if it exists on a dimensional plane that only our consciousness can interpret. sorry if i’m not explaining this right but I believe thoughts and mental images have to exist somewhere physically (or in wtv material way, could be something we don’t know about yet like when we found plasma). i’m not satisfied with how many questions this question opens up and consciousness itself, it’s confusing and weird and almost godly to an undereducated person like myself :p
