MacDonald Argues That the Inability to Apply Tests to Dreams

question 66

True/False

MacDonald argues that the inability to apply tests to dreams "is logical, not physical or psychological. But when it is logically impossible that tests which prevent or correct mistake should be applied then it is nonsensical to assert that mistake can occur. No one can be deceived where no distinction can be made between what is and is not deceptive." Therefore, a dreamer is neither correct nor mistaken about what he dreams.
