The idea that animal intelligence is “like ours, but littler” is no doubt quite wrong, but it’s really the only model we have to work with. If I want my cats to come, I call them by name, even though the concept of “name” is incomprehensible to them.I don’t think it makes a difference when the images are formed. It is still using the brain’s capacity to create a picture of things that do not exist. However, how would sleepwalking and other parasomnias work if that where true?</blockquote>
