I feel I should elaborate more on what exactly I was talking about in my previous entry.

You see, an example of this is easy to explain.  Let's use me, as a matter of fact.  I'm very much a fanboy of Super Sentai, as much as I can be.  I can imagine myself in those situations, and because my imagination is so active at all times, I can easily create histories for different characters.  This is obviously ideal for my plan to make free-of-charge novels, since I can create a unique character on-the-fly, but it's not so great for everyday life.

Okay, so, again, let's say that I imagine myself in a situation like the kind you find in Sentai, and I can even conjure up a suitable backstory.  Now, let's say I get in an accident that causes me to go into a coma.  Is it that hard to believe that I might come out of that coma thinking I AM that character I imagined?

I mean, you hear these stories of people who believe and do all sorts of things when they regain consciousness after an injury to the brain.  Like the man in Italy who got in a race car accident, who knew very limited English beforehand, but afterward, spoke in perfect English.  Or the little boy in Yorkshire who lost his heavy accent and started speaking perfect Queen's English after a type of operation on his brain.

The brain is a very mysterious thing we have.  It is said that we only use 10% of the brain for conscious thought at a time.  Really, is it so hard to believe that someone could have an accident and somehow, during this process of healing the brain, accidently start accessing all sorts of imaginary things and try to apply them to real life, as if they actually existed?  If I imagined that I could throw fire and electricity from my hand like Ness and Lucas, would it be too much of a stretch to think that if my brain is tampered with enough, I might actually start TRYING to use PSI?  I mean, I know it can't actually HAPPEN, but it would obviously be something I'd try if I really believed I was that character, wouldn't I?

This is certainly something for me to look into...
