" Sensations are truly intrinsic, in that they can also be attainedor obtainedin the absence of activation of sensory pathways. During dreaming we feel many different sensations (Zadra et al. 1998), yet none of the things we feel in our dreams comes via the pathways that convey such sensations during the waking state. "
