How could someone else help a brain to produce a simulation, if that someone else is dreamed in the same brain?

I'm not a metaphysical solipsist although I wouldn't have to self-identify as one for the theory to be correct. That interview didn't exist until I clicked on it?

I think that there are other minds similar to mine, so I am not a solipsist. But I also don't think that we have direct access to a shared reality. We are just creating dreams with somewhat isomorphic properties. Each dream is self-contained. Every brain dreams its own universe.

I agree that we are, in a sense, dreaming the way we interpret the data and that is a story. But we aren't fabricating from scratch.

We start out with some initial relevance dimensions that are primed by evolution. But the structures of meaning are entirely self-contained. The ideas you may have about other people and their beliefs are part of your individual dream, too.

In this worldview, are all beliefs then created equal?

So some of the dreams are true and some of them are false?

To be more serious, I don't think that the dream itself can be true or false, because it is not propositional.
