Dreams are basically simulations
Dreams are basically simulations
Dreams are basically simulations of our lives that we run, sometimes with different physical constants, resulting in different worldly behaviours. Fever dreams (not necessarily during a fever) are when we are sweeping over a range of constants, so behaviour keeps on changing.
Maybe the dreams are true reality and what you perceive as being awake is simply a faded memory of what you believe happened. After all, your memories are mostly made up anyway.
i would believe this, if the physics in our dreams stays consistent, which it does not
Dreams are basically simulations of our lives that we run
I rarely ever feature in my own dreams. Nor do people I know. My brain invents completely fictitious stories and characters, like watching a movie or a stage play.
i did not necessarily me mean our as in the person who is dreaming, our as in mostly humans, it is like a diorama we run, not exactly playing sims in our mind
According to some prominent theories, the world of our waking experience is itself a mental simulation of sorts.
There’s a related theory that dreams basically prevent this mental simulation from overfitting our experience, so our brains are always primed to accept the unpredictable.
I mean, the real world does actually exist. But we only experience a simulation of it, created by our brain based on data from our senses. So yes, we live in a simulation, but it does correspond to reality behind it.
Or, am I really the butterfly and this is the simulation?
Someone else said it better, but I wanted to link in my man Zhuangzi.
i dont really have anything to add or ask, but appreciate what seems like unicode character in your username.
