MacDonald Tells Us, "There Are Procedures for Determining Whether Any

question 208

True/False

MacDonald tells us, "there are procedures for determining whether any waking perception is veridical or illusory. One perception is checked or corrected by others." These procedures are constantly and deliberately employed when a perception is doubted. If I want to determine whether a rock is near me, then I can try to touch it in order to prove that the object is, or is not, real. From this discussion, MacDonald concludes that this is logically impossible in a dream.
