Body sensations and responses

Begin with the sensation you remember and what changed around it. Numbness follows missing bodily feedback; Pain follows an interruption and the responses it receives. Nausea considers a felt limit before an event such as vomiting, while Suffocating follows an obstruction and the space available for a response. A missing sensation, an intense sensation and an uncertain memory are different observations.

Drunk includes tipsy scenes within one original reading of changed pace, expression and individual limits. Panic follows urgency overtaking a usable response. Warmth distinguishes physical comfort from a welcoming exchange without making either proof of the other. The linked guide separates the remembered scene, a waking observation and a later explanation; these readings do not identify a health condition or establish another person’s intentions.

Choking follows a mouthful or object interrupting swallowing, an available signal and the response it receives. It differs from a room with no usable opening or a crowd closing in, which belong with Suffocating. A hand signal understood before words are possible gives a different encounter from questions you cannot answer. These reflections concern remembered scenes; they do not identify what happened physically during sleep or explain a waking difficulty.
