Oh, it's an Iain Banks reference. It's about why the Culture's Minds don't lose themselves in endless simulated worlds: Because it would be great right up until someone in the base reality pulls the plug.
Ah! Nice. I haven't read Iain Banks.

If I see the subconcious/dream witch again I'll ask her whether dwelling in a non-physical immune space allows one to remain in the base reality, perhaps with a liberatingly atypical view of the cultural topolgy. Fuck me, that's a weird sentence.
