The feeling of your toe right now, which maybe wouldn't have registered at all because you would have been wrapped up in a thought, is now a more substantive part of all the sense experience. So it sounds like you're getting a lot more input from everything around you than you used to. That doesn't mean things can't be ignored and attention can't be relatively selective. And still within that, there's the spatial proportionality which remains. "So things are not bigger than they are or more important than they naturally would be," Dr. Ingham says.
