"Linguistic constructs really are not the issue; there is no question (just for example) that you experience your dreams."

Well, *grin*...of course I experience my dreams. As YOU experience yours...and everything else you experience. But that doesn't make linguistic constructs NOT an issue. It ought to be clear by now that 'the issue' is where those 'experiences' we all agree we have are located, and thus whether your notion of ^meta physical realms is accurate, or my **suspicion** they they are merely linguistic constructs. (note how carefully, as a conscientious philosophical skeptic, I do not 'deny absolutely')☺
My choice is related to the number of additional premises you need for your model, while I can 'test' mine my subjecting my "beloved meatspace" to various stresses and alter the 'experiences', and sometimes measure the changes, if not the specific content.

Ah, well....sometime we must explore what the practical differences are in daily living for each view. I have maintained for years that.... a serious belief in a personal God who cares and controls the universe affects behavior and world view in practical, operative ways.
