Bruno, I presume here you mean that CTM predicts many dreams a priori. Is the projection to one SWI universe and/or multiple MWI universes also predicted a priori? My concern is that consciousness is predicted at the many dreams stage before projection and that consciousness could decide (a risky term) on a single SWI physical universe with quantum probability. In other words, the realm of "many dreams" contains all possible eigenfunctions at various amplitudes. But in my view, if all eigenfunctions become real in different physical worlds, the amplitude information is lost despite Deutsch's "measure" argument. That is, amplitude information is only conserved as frequency of events in a single physical world integrated over many trials. For Deutsch's argument to be correct the same "many worlds" eigenfunctions must exist in every universe of the multiverse, which in my mind makes the MWI multiverse an illusion.
