Another Lucid Dream Experiment

[Shaun]

I had another dream last night which kind of threw a spanner in the works of this brains not existing carry on. I became lucid and fully aware of my direct experience, put my hand up in front of my face and looked at it. It was a bit glitchy, misshapen and had characteristics of images rendered by the Google deep mind neural network. Note that mushroom trips can have the same effects. A games console has under 1 billion transistors each of which only connects to one or two others and it can render an environment in 4k when under near full load. I am sure that the brain, which we don't even fully use, with its 100 billion neurons, each of which connecting to many more and storing any value between 0 and 1 has the power to convince you that you are god or anything else you care to imagine.

Who is convincing who ?

What is the source of the thought that arise to make this idea a possibility ?

Is that you ?

I'm not convincing anyone it would seem. Matter and consciousness co arise. The brain is the source of all thought and in a sense the brain is me but the brain is not the consciousness which is aware of each of our experiences. I guess I just woke up last night and accepted my right to be human. I know that won't fly here though. Dreams are obviously brain based due to their instability. Reality is obviously matter based due to how concrete and consistent it is.
