I think reality may be like a dream. Or a dream itself.
If reality was real then we would be able to rest knowledge ontop of something that was stable and undebatable. Epistemology would be a solved field. All pieces of knowledge could be understood and explained fully and the meanings of those pieces of knowledge wouldn't have any room to be interpreted or debated since they would be fully and perfectly defined. But there is no piece of knowledge that is 100 stable and unchanging. Nor any meaning whose entirety is perfectly defined with absolute certainty. All knowledge is based ontop of uncertain foundations but it shouldn't be like that since knowledge is based on objective reality and reality is real, right? Unless reality was not real and instead reality is like a dream. In a dream world nothing can be fully certain. No piece of knowledge in the dream world can exist as itself without being tied to an undescribable amount of other thoughts, desires, imagery, etc and even then knowledge from a dream is always incomplete and uncertain. Any information from a dream cannot be known with absolute certainty (try reading something in a dream and try to derive meaning from it.)
