Pretty easy:
1) I was dreaming
2) I had the conscious thought "hey, this stuff doesn't make sense. I am dreaming. Wow, I am aware that I'm dreaming, even though I'm dreaming."
3) I then took conscious steps to alter my dream, for instance, stepping out of the car within which I was and flying away.
Of course, you could try arguing that I just dreamt that I was making conscious decisions, but that's just splitting hairs.
- pbhjpbhj 17y agoOf course, you could try arguing that I just dreamt that I was making conscious decisions, but that's just splitting hairs. That's exactly what I was intimating. Some believe that freewill is a similar illusion. There is no clear way to know, except that within the restricted arena of your dreams, assuming you're an honest person, then we can ask you to dream a certain thing in advance and see if you can. That doesn't rule out the dream being a created memory that doesn't occur until you come to "remember" it however.
