Sure, your thoughts are real but they need not be true descriptions of reality. You are positing something which is counter to modern understanding of the operation of the nervous system and you are doing so based only on your subjective perception of the phenomenon. You may conjure all the arguments you can but, until you can offer an objective corroboration of your anecdotal description, there's no reason for anyone to accept it.
