1.) Personally, I rely on sensory knowledge quite often. I rely on my "gut feeling" when making big decisions and if it feels right then I act upon it. I think it depends on everybody but I think Plato diminishes sensory knowledge and its importance. I feel like in certain situations, everyone can get certain feelings or vibes but the difference is whether or not they act upon them and some people have more keen senses. Ultimately, I believe sensory knowledge is important and significant if you decide to act upon what your senses are telling you.
2.) I do not see sensory knowledge as materialistic. It is very much a bodily and intuitive process rather than other alternatives. These can include more logical and analytical thinking, physical research and planning, scientific research, etc.
3.) If we did not use our senses at all to recognize and live in the world, I think it would be plain, bland, or not adaptable. If we could not see we could not recognize people, sights, or anything it would just be dark like a black hole. If we could not taste or smell we might eat or drink something harmful. If we could not touch we would not know what we are holding or grabbing. If we could not hear we would not know if people were talking to us. Ultimately, we would not know what is going on and it would not be adaptable.
4.) Like mentioned before, my sixth sense is sort of like my gut feeling or intuition. It is like when a mother can sense if something bad is going to happen, particularly involving their child. When I make decisions I rely on how my gut feels and if it is a good gut feeling or a bad one. The same thing goes if I am going somewhere or might be in a bad situation, I can feel if something bad is going to happen.
1.) I think dreams are useful because many of them show events that have yet to come. That deja vu moment is so fascinating because we are dreaming about something that has not even happened yet. I also think they are important to interpret because they often have hidden meanings and underlying fears you are dealing with.
2.) The dreams that mystify me the most are the ones that have hidden meanings in them. For example, if you are worried about your appearance then you might have a dream about all of your teeth falling out. Another type of dream that mystifies me is a reoccurring dream that you might progress through each time you have it.
3.) For me, terrifying dreams are when it deals with something that scares you or makes you uncomfortable and you may wake up sweating or out of breath. The last terrifying dream I had was when I was surviving a zombie apocalypse and it was reoccurring. People died in front of me, I had many close calls, and I think it was just the adrenaline and heat of the moment feeling that got to me. I later looked up that the meaning behind this dream is due to feelings of hopelessness or loss of control.
4.) I believe people forget their dreams if they were not significant or maybe they were too scary or harmful to remember that their brain "erases" them.
5.) I do not think dreaming is a mental activity but more so a mental process.
