    Well, yes. Actually it does matter. Modern materialistic approach lets us assume that physical laws (no matter if we know them or not) are universal and applicable to anything. “Dream” concept leaves us in total chaos without even a theoretical chance to figure out how things work. It even has totally crazy synchronization problems between different “dreamers” if there are a few of them. There isn’t a single question that is answered by Machism. Absolute religion-tier stupidity.

    So it does matter.

      Its not so different to Last Thursdayism.

      It think its fine if it is used to keep you humble about the limits of knowledge, but I can’t imagine using it to support any other point.

      I disagree. There’s no reason the scientific method (observe, question, hypothesize, experiment, record data, draw conclusions) can’t be applied in dreams.

      Just because your dreams aren’t consistent or logical doesn’t mean it’s impossible to have a logically consistent dream.

        Maybe it’s not. Maybe we are all tiny parts of same consciousness that creates the dream, which makes it consistent based on our shared expectations, or shared subconscious, or whatever connection it is that makes us one. Or something along these lines.

        That would explain the consistency without relying upon rigid materialist laws.
