Consciousness is needed to create a constant "present tense" (virtual reality?) for the brain/body so we can contemplate the past and the future without getting lost in time. We do lose consciousness when remembering (vividly), planning (intensely) or dreaming. The "present tense" pulls us back to the body's reality. Can we really thing about the past and future while being in the present? or do we go back and forth quickly?
Art, movies, novels, music, work, travel, TV, divertissement generally: escape from the present.
