In class, I was interested by the ideas of “leaving one’s body” and dreams allowing the nervous system to take over with no input and no outputs. Instead of inputs from the environment controlling behavior, only the inner neurons’ patterns of activity conduct behavior. Does this inner activity in our nervous system relate to our inner self? Are inner selves all the same since we all have an I function or are they different because the patterns of neuron activities are too complex to recreate in two people? I lean towards the latter. There is something more to the behavior than inputs, conscious or unconscious, followed by outputs. This may be explained by the I function. There seems to be a unique factor about the I function that contributes to defining us as human beings and as individuals.
