Hypothesis: If I am dreaming, I will wake up if I do something that would normally kill me.
Test: I will jump off the roof of my apartment building.
Result: Subject died.
Conclusion: Subject was not dreaming.

First you need to properly define what dreaming means.

My standard lucid dream test (willing the world to be blue) isn't working, therefore I'm not dreaming.

You can't rely on light switches or mirrors or shit not working in dreams. That's not consistent for everyone.

anyone one of you seen a phone/computer display in your dreams? showing info (not turned off)?

Light switch works, clock work, everything is too consistent and boring for it to be a dream.

I believe it's not possible to feel pain in a dream that is caused by the dream. For example if someone stabs you in a dream you don't feel the pain of being stabbed, though if it causes you to tense your sleeping body a bit you may feel that in the dream. To test that you'd just do a sleep study of a sufficient sample of people and gather info like brain activity and heart rate and the descriptions of dreams they had. Then you'd have reviews and repeat studies and meta analysis and so on. Of course it's relies on the people dreaming to not lie about what they dreamed about etc. But some kind of study like that might at least give decent evidence, not really proof though, because maybe when we're awake we're actually in dreams where we can feel pain

... another thing I noticed. Last night I had this dream where I dropped someone off somewhere in my car and told them I'd text them on my phone when I got home. Then when I got home I started trying to text them just a simple message and I swear I spent probably 15 minutes trying to write a text on my phone and I just couldn't do it. Every time I started typing the text would either change or vanish or the app would close or the app would change a bit or another app would open. I ended up having to ask someone else who was there to write the text for me and they did it straight away no problem. But I've had this kind of thing happen before. The scope of what you focus on in a dream seems to affect the scope of what changes . Usually my focus is more global so everything's changing all the time, like total location changes and situation changes and people around me changing, usually like every minute or even every few seconds. But because i was looking at my phone this time it was the phone that was changing and the situation I was in, where I was and the scenery and the people there, wasn't changing

I *promise* you this isn't true. Some of the worst pain I've ever experienced was in nightmares. I'm talking worse than a kidney stone.

Oh god I just remembered the rubber bullet jousting tournament dream. Fuck you that bullshit was painful AND annoying (except the 1st third where I was an illegal slugtaur on the run from the feds which was just whacky fun).

Good thing that anon isn't everyone and is just someone who can't turn on light switches in their dreams.

Arguments against solipsism
1.Argument from IQ
>the consciousness creating the alleged simulation is divided into a conscious and a subconscious part
>intelligence is a primarily conscious effort and cannot be fully delegated to the subconscious
>the intelligence of the entire consciousness is therefore limited by the IQ of its conscious part
>a consciousness cannot produce something that exceeds its own IQ
>creating a reality with laws following a level of abstract math beyond my own IQ is therefore impossible
>conclusion: solipsism must be false

That is just a regular lucid dreaming check.

For you, yes, but what about the consciousness dreaming you?

Completely derailed here. The whole argument did. Conscious effort is a monkey on an elephant.
