But the argument for living in a simulation is parasitic on being outside of a simulation. We say that we could be inside a simulation because we notice that the physical world seems to support the possibility of incredibly detailed simulations which could be indistinguishable from what we experience now. But if we're in a simulation, none of that reasoning applies.

In that case, the argument is undermined.

the dream is a simulation? we create also an "avatar" of us that is completely different from us like memory and personality. But when we wakeup we understand that was a dream, and also we can wakeup inside the dream (lucid dreaming)

But the philosophical worry that we could be in a dream our entire waking lives is based on the fact that we wake up from dreams, and can therefore distinguish being awake from being in a dream.

Plotino in the Enneadi say that our life is a teatral rappresentations, and we (we as "souls") are actors that interpreting a role in the show of live. And we are worry for our role more that for our soul. the role is the mask and the soul is our reality.
