Ah- I agree with you, here. I addressed this in my post “My Weirdest Experience Wasn’t.”
“Catherine presented me with a truth that I did not believe- that I was dreaming, and that my real self lived in a different reality. I rejected this knowledge, even though it was correct, until I tested her claim and awoke. But though it may seem strange that a character in a dream should know something that I did not, I have had similar experiences in my waking life. I’ve often questioned memories that surfaced in my mind- with good reason. Memory is notoriously unreliable. There have been many times when I’ve remembered things and said to myself “wait- that can’t be right.” Sometimes these memories proved to be correct, and sometimes not, but each time, my memory was supplying me with something my conscious mind rejected, similar to my dream. The way the subconscious mind supplies memories does not necessarily indicate the activity of a separate entity within our minds. That claim may be researched further, but my dream does not offer any special evidence. ”
