===Externally sourced sensory input===
While the majority of the perceived input in a dream is created from one's mind, some senses such as hearing always allow external input. In the dream, an externally sourced sound event may not be consciously perceived at all or not as directly as in waking life. Parts of it can manifest in the dream either as the original sound or as a distortion of it. For example, an airplane in the physical world could be perceived as a thunderstorm in the dream. This is, however, not limited to only hearing as other senses such as touch are also possible, and both the input and the manifestation can be [[multisensory effects|multisensory]].
