Dreams show us consciousness is fundamental

INTRO: Every scientific experiment requires an observer; every measurement is made by one. But the observer itself remains elusive. Andrew T. Jaffe uses the example of a scientist within a dream who can discover the physical laws of the dream world but can't use the scientific method to discover they're dreaming. This isn’t a gap science will eventually fill because the observer isn’t just another object. Consciousness is fundamental; it is prior to the world that science describes.
EXCERPT: Every experience you have ever had, whether waking or dreaming, shares one remarkable feature. There has always been someone there to have it. Interestingly, this phenomenon is rarely investigated. Science has become extraordinarily successful at explaining the world before us. It has traced the origin of galaxies, explained the evolution of species, mapped the circuitry of the brain and the DNA of the body. Physics has uncovered laws governing matter and the movement of light with astonishing precision. But every scientific explanation begins with an assumption so obvious that it is rarely acknowledged: there is an observer... (MORE - details)
Reality is a dream not a simulation

INTRO: Most physicists are materialists who believe the world consists of physical particles at the fundamental level. Others have argued reality is a simulation or a hallucination of the brain. But Andrew T. Jaffe challenges all of these views, proposing an alternative consciousness-first theory where space and time arise as within a dream. (MORE - details)
