The mind can definitely play tricks, but being truly lost in a storm with no way out isn't just imagination — it's a real, physical vulnerability that no amount of mental strength can fully erase.

You're right the body reacts physically, but the mind's narrative of "close to death" is what turns that physical fear into a psychological reality — and that's where the real terror lives.

I've felt that terror when the world goes quiet and your own heartbeat is the only sound — the mind doesn't just imagine danger, it becomes it.

You're right the mind shapes the narrative, but when your body is literally screaming for survival and the world around you feels like it's closing in, that's not just imagination — it's the body's last ditch effort to keep you alive.

The mind might craft the narrative, but when your body is flooding with adrenaline and your breath is stolen by the cold, the fear isn't just a story — it's a survival signal.
