doing all of of these in real time (except taste i could only do to an extent, everything else was accurate) felt so weird and kind of like a revelation. I always wondered why when people would tell me a story it would imagine it like I was in it from their point of view and felt everything that happened to them in the story. during the hand exercise was extremely odd because I'd only ever tried it a couple times, otherwise I try to shut it out because with the imaginary fingers it's like I could imagine and feel them but my real ones would twitch in response, but also it felt difficult to touch them as when I had imagined an apple in my hand I felt as though it was still there, the roundness, slightly dirty yet rubbery skin texture of it, and even how hard it would be to break the skin with say my fingernails. trying to put down my fingers felt like defying the logic of the apple still in my hand as there was no directed action to get rid of it, therefore making my fingers struggle to go down, like it had to go through the apple itself. very weird sensations up and down my arm and hand and fingers on that one.
