I agree that humans are more competent than ants, but I am not sure about its emotional-intelligence. But I agree with your conclusion. We can have do two dreams at once, and realise it after awakening, and we can’t exclude we might have arithmetical continuation capable of handling a finite or even an infinite number of streams. The arithmetical reality is, among other things, an infinite processing machinery, after all. It is an open problem.
