   Living in your head is like flying through clouds without instruments: You lose all sense of direction, speed and even attitude. You could come out of the cloud and find the ground waiting for you dead ahead, a second or two away. There’s a reason early aviators said ‘Clouds are death.’

   Finding and learning to rely on indicators that show you where you are and pointed in which direction is not simple. Jimmy Doolittle (he of the famed Tokyo raid) spent years developing flight instruments and then convincing pilots they could rely on them. No different here. Except maybe scuba is Bruno’s equivalent to crossing the country in a closed cabin, relying entirely on instruments. Very similar environments, really.
