What do we perceive and feel while asleep?

But I always thought that moths do perceive light, but don't think about it?
Like there's some sort of feeling, but they don't think about it?
For example when you hear a conversation but don't process what they're talking about, you hear everything (so you perceive it) but don't think/process it.

Again, that depends on your definition of 'perceive'. They have photosensors, yes. Is that perception?

This is a semantic discussion, since we're just discussing our ideas of words, not the actual facts of what's going on.


Going back to feeling and pain for a moment:

... a scalpel... cuts into the head and exposes the insect’s brain.

“There’s no anesthesia. Isn’t it unbearably painful?”

“Not at all ... Insects have no pain receptors, nor do they have the cognitive traits needed to experience pain the way we do. The experience of pain is created in the brain. Insects don’t have a system that can convey information about pain,”...

Wait, insects don't have pain receptors? I never knew that...

Take it up with your doctor.

Seconded.

Needing to take sleeping pills regularly is a sure alert to get to your doctor.
