Bodily feeling/sensation is therefore reduced during TV (as is the case during dream experience), so the feeling of fullness is reduced/lacking. Dr. Joyce Starr agrees with this as well. (Television is an unnatural creation of generalized thought.) Consistent with the rest of this post, consider that TV involves emotional detachment, disintegration, contraction, and loss; and this certainly relates to (or involves) depression and anxiety as well. Importantly, TV also reduces memory and thought; and this is also consistent with/similar to dream experience. Hence, the overeating while watching television relates to the reduction in thought and memory as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TV is an extended form of the dream. It therefore reduces thought, memory, and feeling (as in the dream). This is the real reason for overeating while viewing television. &lt;/p&gt;

Therefore, thoughts are relatively shifting and variable; so the visual images during dreams are relatively shifting and variable as well -- and this becomes even more so in the case of TV. Indeed, the sights (and even sounds) of television are even more like thought than those of the dream. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By reading my article and my posts in this discussion, I have clearly made the case that TV is a form of hallucinatory experience. You can call it a generalized hallucination, but it is still an hallucination. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Legislative advocacy is required on this now! --- Google hallucinations, and see what they are associated with. TV is causing bodily and emotional loss and disintegration. (Emotion is differentiated and manifest as sensory experience and feeling.) TV is producing a state of &amp;quot;manic high&amp;quot; or emotional euphoria (with reduced feeling/emotion) that is akin to being on painkillers (regarding being high). Depression and bipolar are linked to TV. &amp;nbsp;I know this stuff inside and out.&lt;/p&gt;
