Title: MEMORY-REPORTS AND DREAM-NARRATIVES: Why Dreams Aren’t Events In Sleep
12:15-13:45 Central European Summer Time (UTC+02:00)/18:15-19:45 Taiwan Standard Time (UTC+08:00), 16 April 2024
Abstract: Dreaming is a strangely neglected topic in philosophy, despite the use to which Cartesian sceptics have put it. This paper compares dream-narratives with memory-reports, arguing against the Analytic and popular consensus that the former are not memory-reports – there are vital differences as well as similarities. As Wittgenstein recognised, dream-narratives have authority – memory-reports, in contrast, are merely reliable. As in his account of pain, Wittgenstein rejects both Cartesianism and behaviourism: “Does this mean that it is nonsense ever to raise the question whether dreams really take place during sleep, or are a memory phenomenon of the awakened? It will turn on the use of the question.” In this discussion, I am indebted to the work of Roger Squires (1940-2021).
