Part 2/8:
Imagine walking on the ceiling in a dream – a seemingly impossible feat that becomes possible within the bounds of our psyche. This leads to the question: if such experiences occur in our dreams, how do we decipher their relevance to our conscious existence? The dialogue touches upon this notion, suggesting that even within dreams or altered states, the essence of consciousness remains intact.
Consciousness, in this view, is not something that can be easily dismissed or categorized as an illusion, regardless of the reality we believe ourselves to be in. Be it a simulation or mere illusions enforced by the constraints of human perception, the unchanging fact remains that consciousness indicates our awareness of existence, making it a foundational element of our understanding of reality.
