Remember, your brain has a "conception" of time/space. So by this we already know it can be altered...as its simply neurons transmitting, & neuro-peptides etc.

This conception could easily be altered....infact we already partake in conception altering...in the form of drugs. But why use an organic plant when neural transmissions could be altered with slight eletrical pulses carrying small bits of information....even building entirely new neural pathways in our brain.

While we're on this "vacation" we could be broken of a habit, learn a new trade, taught a life lesson, or simply have fun.

The question is, how much could the human mind take....for how long. And what of memory? Such a long mental vacation aided by a computer would surely eat up all of our memory, or replace our existing ones. So would they need to be erased at a later date....to make room for new ones? And if so...what would be the point of taking the vacation in the first place?

Or could we simply add a new external harddrive to carry around this life experiences & information.

The possibilities for good & evil are endless & abundant.
