Come on, if anyone gets stuck in the desert with no food or water for a few days, imaginary friends or enemies, and life or death scenarios, even deep philosophical thought shouldn't be out of the ordinary for a starving thristy man who by all accounts was a little off kilter to begin with. Remember, they had no psycho-pharmaceuticals in his day.

in Order to answer that question, one has to accept the premise upon which it is predicated. I reject your premise based on a complete lack of evidence speaking for the historicity of Jesus.

We have developed the concept that only physical is real. We think that imaginary is not real. Remember Einstein said: "Genius is 1% perspiration and 99% imagination." Creation has 3 stages: image, ordain, manifest. The devil is wise. He starts with the imaginary, but Jesus had a stronger brighter mind, He ordained it, and His victory manifested. Jesus guaranteed that I can do that also. It is hard but practice makes perfect. Pharmaceuticals are here because we keep on imagining those diseases, and pharmaceuticals are here to sharpen our horrible imagination.

No he wasn't. But then nothing I could say would really change your mind.
First thing you have to consider Jesus was different from your usual human. Modern doctors can heal the sick and to a limited extent even bring the dead back to life.
But they can't do it with just saying a few words. Jesus could say arise and walk and the lame walked and the dead arose.

Who said He had no food or water?? Jesus had the word of God which was His spritual food, and that is what got Him through the dessert. Jesus is the water that Chrsitians thirst for, and that fountain never goes dry. His faith and obedience to His Father is what got Him through that dessert.
You dont' have a clue as to what Jesus day was back then, if you have no faith.

Satan is afallen angel his fall was told about in the book of issiah, Jesus is the Son of God, He was not hallucinating. He would've failed the test if he did. I'm quite sure he had water brought to him but it was food he went without. Satan in the test made no mention of turning stones into water, the test was to turn them into Bread. had he done he would've fallen to temptation but Being the Son of God and righteusness he passed Gloriously and defeated the devil not only in the wildreness but through his death and Reserection..

What we are talking about here is the force of evil offering the Creator of the universe that which He created, for the easy price of adoring him. I see no psychodelic aspects about those circumstances.
Fasting is a form of self-deprivation (still practiced today) which has been found to have positive physiological results.

no he wasnt. satan came to tempt him because he knew that jesus was weak in his physical state so he wanted to take advantage of the time. in the book of matthews you will see
4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered.
4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
