Usually each dream is not a complete cycle but a jumble of separate dreaming moments. The fact of this discontinuity of the dream state cannot be used as proof of its unreality. There is an evolutionary process in Nature which gives a different quality to the working of consciousness in the waking state from that of the dream state, precisely because of the greater utility of the waking state to the outworking of its purposes.
