Writing from dreams is risky as I can't expect the reader to share the same experience set that led to the dream, but it's worth the risk to possibly nail an archetype that hits home with one person than to merely entertain many others.
Entertainment is one thing, but to read through the eyes of an individual that can impact a person, even if it's a dream, is much more important.

While this adds to the argument that fiction (and dreams) may be just as valid as science, fiction and art
Fiction, art, and dreams are still all perspectives. Though they aren't facts, what really is? Facts are typically subjects or things that have major support and backing. Fiction, art, and dreams can have support based on people relating to it and having the same or similar thoughts and experiences. Who's to say that doesn't also make it a fact of some sort? White gives many different examples on how each individual can cause an argument of validity based solely on their different perspectives and the perspectives of others on that topic.
The study of physics has also influenced my view of my place in this world-especially when I fell into the inward-spiraling realization that we are not justified in making observations or theories about the "world" without including ourselves as observers in the picture.
This really connects to the "Include Yourself in the Experiment" stated in the above image. You are an individual looking in and observing as well. I feel it really points out and gives an example to the realization that you are a separate individual in a world of many individuals.
moment of self-realization as a child, when you suddenly realize that you are not the external world or your perceptions, but you are an individual entity perceiving this world, separate from others.
As a child, I felt as though I was the center of the universe, and everyone saw things the way I did up to a certain point. In psychology, we learn that around the age of 3 children then start to actually form memories. It's like a pivotal point in life where they specifically realize they are an individual entity and develop further on their own which I feel this quote has perfectly embodied just in different words.
