I keep seeing this thread about ways of murdering dream characters.
You know, I believe there is no solid evidence that there are conscious minds outside of my own mind. Correct me if I'm wrong. Because you only experience the universe wholly through your eyes, right? But it goes without saying then that there is no proof to me that you guys aren't conscious and percieving the universe as I am. So, what's to say that when you fall asleep at night the DC's aren't conscious? Because we don't consistantly fall into the same, cohesive world every night? We don't have a body in our dreams, and we don't have senses. We subconscioulsy build a face or or perceivable environment in our dreams based on our waking world, which is preceived with physical senses. Who knows what a dream would be without this mask. Maybe we do enter in to a consistant plane of energy or alternate reality every night and the people we see are in fact beings, which we asign faces to. There are many reasons why we don't believe that dream characters are conscious beings, I see that, but ultimately we have as much solid evidence of "RL" characters being conscious as we do with dream characters, which is nill. So how can we go around murdering and raping in our sleep?
With this, I believe in dreaming ethically. Anybody agree? Disagree?
