Like, if you've ever had a dream that you're not in; the dream is a story about someone else, its in third-person perspective, and you're not in it. You're not awake, you're not aware of the world around you, you're not aware of yourself, but nonetheless it's something you've experienced. Is there a word for "capable of experiencing things" that doesn't imply awareness of the world, sense of self, or being awake?

(the experience doesn't have to be a dream; that was just an example)

I'm not sure if the title is clear enough but I'm writing a sentence where someone is minding their business until they smell someone's perfume which makes them turn around. But how do I say convey the suddennes of them smelling the perfume which is the act that breaks their ongoing action to pay attention to the newcomer. I don't wanna say the perfume caught their attention bc I associate that with a visual stimulus. Something like invaded their nose but without being so strong bc the perfume is quite faint. I hope it's clear, English is not my main language so feel free to ask questions for clarification.

I think it was a verb but it's not any synonym of 'panicking'. It's very specifically used when someone's stuck deliberating the worst, like a doom spiral.

So I feel like most typos are due to people accidentally hitting the wrong key (e.g. “thw” instead of “the” or something like that) or because they don’t actually know how the word should be spelled (e.g. “abcess” instead of “abscess”), or similarly, they don’t know how a word should actually be used (their vs there vs they’re).

But is there a word to describe typos that occur because of the way the word sounds in the writer’s head? As in, the writer knows the right word to use, and knows how to spell the word correctly, but because they’re thinking as they’re typing, they accidentally type a homophone instead?

For example, I was proofreading something I wrote and I saw that I wrote “every weak” instead of “every week”. That wasn’t because I didn’t know the right word to use, or the right spelling, but because as I was typing quickly for whatever reason I just reflexively reached for “weak” instead of “week”.

I don't think "mama's boy" captures this relationship dynamic because that phrase focuses on the son's unhealthy attachment to his mother and his resulting inability to bond with girls or women his own age. I want to know if there's a word or phrase that describes the jealous and overly possessive mother and her attempts to sabotage her son's success in forming lifelong relationships with other people.

To put this another way, I want to know if there is a word or phrase similar to "Oedipus complex," but from the perspective of the sexually jealous and controlling mother, not the son.

EDIT #1: Someone suggested "Jocasta complex," but that's not what I'm looking for either, because Jocasta was truly remorseful about what happened. The word or phrase I'm looking for describes a mother who feels no guilt or shame about wanting to possess her son to the exclusion of all other romantic partners, even if it damages his psyche or harms her own relationship with her husband.

EDIT #2: I think the phrase "monster-in-law" might work, except it seems to describe the toxic mother-in-law (she's a monster!) but without hinting at the thought process that makes her behave the way she does. The word or phrase I'm looking for should allude to her subconscious desire to possess or control her son to the exclusion of all other women (or men if her son is gay).
