I was pondering this the other day. For you to summon up a given circumstance or feeling or whatever, would it be nessicary for you to have felt that thing before. Example: If you have never felt pain before, could you feel pain in your dream? I'm not asking that specific question, I'm just using it as an example. I guess what I'm really asking is, does your mind have to have a premade "database" of things that you can experience, or does it just have the ability to mimic these things even though its never experienced them?

I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say, thanks for any input!
