I find it rather amazing how many people’s dreams, when they describe them, sound basically mundane, like things that could more or less happen in real life.
At least twice as a child, I actually completed homework assignments in dreams. Or at least I thought I’d completed them upon waking.
I wonder if those experiences have something to do with why I react to non-realism with such hostility.
It’s interesting that you say that. I’ve always treated non-realism with sympathy, and it took a while for the concept of “beliefs that correspond to reality” to anchor itself. It is possible that this correlates with my interesting and not-like-real-life dreams...
Not sure which way, if at all, the causation acts though.
