I would say that cuts are something we get used to rather than something that is intrinsically “natural” to us.

I remember when I was very little that it was actually somewhat “confusing”, or at least quite taxing mentally, and I’m pretty sure I see this in my own very little children.

As we grow and “practice” watching plays, TV, movies, read books, our brains adapts and we become completely used to it.

True. Maybe we experience jumps in time and location in our dreams because we've been conditioned to it by films.

Cuts aren't "natural" but they're part of the language of filmmaking, and most peoples experience of them is consistent.
