Hi Clandestino,

One of the first thing a pilot who wants to learn how to fly an aircraft by reference to instruments alone must learn is to stop believing his senses and put his trust in instruments, lest he develops some illusion of attitude, turning or acceleration and kills himself flying.
Do you not use your sensation of deceleration to adjust the amount of braking to be applied, or the sensation of delta g when changing pitch attitude to make it comfortable?

I think you may be confusing spatial disorientation with sensed accelerations.
