reading you can sort of mentally supplant. It’s really weird, but i’m very immersed into reading, like i comprehend the world building, and the writing, and the characters, and all the interactions, i can feel the environment. I can’t see anything, or hear anything, but i know what it looks like (at least i think) and i know what it sounds like.

Think about it as if it’s a dream, and it starts to make more sense, it’s just like a conscious dream, spurred by really good story telling.
