dreams that are MORE compelling ... than ANYTHING I experience in the "real world".

Lucid dreaming is one reason that I cannot disprove nihlism, but I still maintain that it is far more likely that your brain could store up 20 minutes to a couple of hours of imaginativly coorelated experiences to replay at night, than to manufacture a whole world of experience that continues to have novelty decade after decade.

It's my experience that my dreams often get time mixed up. Some dreams are very ordinary and yet very vivid such that I don't realize I was dreaming until I recall an event, often trivial such as eating lunch, in the dream as if it were ordinary memory, and realize that it involved people who have not aged for 30 years interacting with contemporary friends. My brain cannot correlate enough information to produce a result as consistant and dependable as reality.
