Reality of dreams

You experience dreams, and they are something different from waking experience. They are, you think, entirely in your head, which they are. What you don't realize is that waking experience is entirely in your head too.

The difference may be (this is my opinion) that dreams happen because of neuronal activity while you are asleep that the part of your brain that turns things that happen around you into conscious experience tries to do the same with your sleeping neuronal activity.

Either way, conscious experience comes from neuronal activity, and in both cases the neuronal activity is real.
