hypothesis
The dream argument contends that a futuristic technology is not required to
create a simulated reality, but rather, all that is needed is a human brain.
More specifically, the mind's ability to create simulated realities during REM
sleep <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REM_sleep> affects the statistical
likelihood of our own reality being simulated.
