CHAPTER

Is It Possible to Apply This to a Non-Biological Brain?

I don't think a i is conscious in the right way to have something like dreams. And that's because i am maybe a biological thinker who tries to reserve those for organic entities. So my book focusss on animals, and here i'm appealing to organicity to not deal with the problem of a i. But if we go in the other direction, in the direction of plantso have a similar problem - they're just vegetative. They can't really perceive emotion. Plants can't feed themselves and keep on living but I will wait for another novelist to write about the rich powers of nightmares or night terrors.
