>From the perspective of *experiential realism (ER)*

the experience that occurs in a dream *could be the same* as an experience
that occurs when awake.
Say the experience is DaCoT = drinking a cup of tea (the feel of the cup,
the warmth and taste of the tea).
A tea drinker knows a DaCoT experience when awake. They could have a DaCoT
experience in a dream.
(This presumes experiences are real in the sense of ER.)
