DEHUMANISATION AND MUMMIFICATION

Is there, generally, a great deal of difference between dehumanisation and mummification (both in the BDSM sense obviously)?

I suppose a lot depends on how you mummify the victim and what your intentions are that may define the difference. Say, for example, your intention is to physically use and/or abuse the victim in any way then they are less dehumanised. And if they are permitted the power of speech or one can plainly see their face, then they are not dehumanised.

But if they are simply wrapped, bondaged, with all facial features gone, with none of the five senses available to them, and left completely untouched then they are dehumanised - they are simply a shape on the living room floor (or wherever!)

The picture below is of what I deem one way to be dehumanised. I cannot move within that sack due to restraints both inside and out, the headbox is totally dark and the padding within blocks out all sounds. My mouth is stuffed with fabric and wrapped around with duct tape. I simply lie there, immobile and ignored, for a long time, being thought of as, well, nothing.
