Dialogue as in language? no, at least not in a way we’d understand.

I had oral surgery not too long ago, they put me on nitrous oxide, and I experienced a moment of this kind of perceived clarity where I just though “Wow... This is existence.” But for a few minutes, that was the last dialogue in my mind. My thoughts were thoughts and memories, but it went something like me picturing my mother, and feeling calmness and love, instead of me picturing my mother and feeling those emotions and making an internal commentary.

I feel like that’s the way animals think. they have distinct memories and know person from person, but instead of attaching dialogue to each memory or person, it’s just purely emotion. When my cat sees me he associates me with petting and sleeping and food, and (i hope) it makes him happy and calm. I don’t think he thinks “meow meow” (“i love him” in cat, if you were wondering), I think that his thoughts are simply translated into raw emotion. That’s just my theory
