Daydreams about some tropical paradise ... the smell of freshly baked bread ... the flash of anger experienced when one person cuts another off ... the vision of an albino squirrel on the campus green ...

What are its metaphysical implications, and can people reconcile those implications with current scientific understanding of the world?
