| Aug 1, 2016 at 16:14 | comment | added | commando | As someone who has studied philosophy of mind closely under multiple figures who work on exactly this issue, I can assure you that's simply false. I can dream about a red apple and be right that I experienced seeing red, while being incorrect that this red corresponds to some physical item. I can also dream about a green apple and (strange as it sounds) believe that I experienced red, in which case I'm simply wrong about my own qualia. We can continue this in chat, if you would like, but this is enough for comments. | |
| Aug 1, 2016 at 16:10 | comment | added | hellyale | @commando mistaken qualia and mistaken experiences of qualia are the same thing. | |
| Aug 1, 2016 at 16:09 | comment | added | commando | Again, that isn't the point of the question; mistaken qualia are trivial to find. Mistaken experiences of qualia, less so. | |
| Aug 1, 2016 at 16:08 | comment | added | hellyale | @commando there is no objective counter part that matches with the qualia of your dreams. Therefor it is mistaken qualia. A table viewed when awake has an object external to us that can be related to the qualia, a dream table does not. | |
| Aug 1, 2016 at 16:05 | comment | added | commando | The question is not illusory qualia - it's illusory experiences of qualia. You may have been mistaken that the dream was reality, but you weren't mistaken about having the dream. | |
