I understand that execution can be an implementation of your instincts, however execution can also involve acting on your emotions.

"something real" could also be "something you don't know and may not exist" so I don't quite see how that answers the question. Could you give an example to articulate what you mean?

emotions are generated from a mental situation when you face a fact.

of course, an instinct may be a result of deep concentration and experience of extreme downside and upside emotions, which may be concluded as a new fact that may cause you a varierty of new emotions, maybe that of happiness and anticipation to make you to complete your dreams or avoid a sad situation.

maybe, instinct is an emotion of intution after all.
