    One of My strongest memories is watching a documentary where they claimed dogs don’t dream, and my dogs directly in front of the TV making little sleep barks and moving legs deep into some dream.

    Let’s be honest we are animals and the rest aren’t all that far behind us.

            What’s driving me wild about these claims is I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE EVEN MEAN with “inner monologue”. And none of those stupid articles seems to bother to first and foremost try to define what the fuck they are writing about. A definition of the word…

              It’s like talking to yourself, but not vocalizing it. At least that’s how I understand it

                I still don’t know whether that means my absolutely everyday way to think the words I am typing right now, or if some people can actually hear their “inner voice” like in a movie voiceover when the protagonists thoughts are narrated in the protagonist’s voice. Or do people have a “dialogue” in their heads? I mean that never occurred to me because at least that part of "mono"logue is clear…

                  Pretty much the inner voice thing. Like you are talking yourself through what you are doing, commenting internally on what you see and stuff.

                    Still not specific enough. I may sometimes “think loud inside” i.e. think in sentence form / “I should definitely do this” - and I definitely “speak silently” in my brain when I am typing out a sentence like this one right here - but I think that is VERY much the norm if not impossible not to do - because writing down language requires the language center / processing skills of the brain.

                    Beyond that, however, I wouldn’t normally comment on what I see / do - because that’s… kinda redundant?

                    Does it mean there are people who really comment everything in their brains? Like “Mhh… this wall is yellow. There’s a doorframe to my right - the door is made of wood.” etc?
