The discussion reminds of that story On being a bat (iirc) in Hofstadter/Dennets highly recommended The Mind's I, on the impossibility of understanding at all what it is like to be something so different from us.

Thomas Nagel's "What is it like to be a bat?" [PDF], indeed included in The Mind's I.
