"reality, at least as far as humans perceive it, consists of observations of physical events, or at least we know that much for sure." Curious: would you say that your dreams are observations of physical events? Can you be sure that this isn't a dream? All we know is that we have experiences, and that it's a reasonable guess that something called "physical reality" is behind those experiences. |

Current understanding is that dreams are a side effect of variational model selection. See Hobson, J. A., & Friston, K. J. (2012). Waking and dreaming consciousness: Neurobiological and functional considerations. Progress in Neurobiology, 98(1), 82–98. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pneurobio.2012.05.003
