Ah, perhaps. The thought actually crossed my mind after I had posted. But no, I don't experience anything so vividly I no longer notice my surroundings. That's also the reason I only read fiction at home - anywhere else I'm just too distracted. As a child I was able to tune everything else out, but I lost the ability in my teens and never regained it.
