   Does not the symbol 'psychosomatic' suggest the possibility   
   of hurt sans an external world to cause it?

   With what? Words? If so, why would you accept cousins to   
   the "stuff" dreams are made of as capable of providing   
   proof/disproof of stuff alleged to not be the "stuff"   
   dreams are made of?

   Could it be they're fascinated by doing so seeming to   
   provoke the kind of post this one is in reply to, and they   
   so love typing that of course they're going to create as   
   many opportunities to type as they possibly can?
