AI overview
Experience refers to the conscious events and perceptions that happen when you encounter things in the world—like seeing a yellow bird or feeling a sensation—as well as the practical knowledge you build up from these encounters over time. It matters because it's the foundation of how we become aware of and learn about the world around us, though it can include both real perceptions and unreal ones like dreams or hallucinations.
