The point of interest is that their brain shouldn't be doing anything at all if they are in a full biological inactive state.
Quote:You're claiming that consciousness is merely the bi-product of the biological process to begin to begin with though you're basing this upon an assumption without evidence. What you have is the equivalent of a blind faith.
I give you evidence: when your brain gets shut down by appropriate chemicals, you lose consciousness and depending on how it goes, have no recollection of the time lost. Damage to certain parts of your brain changes your personality, heck, changes in brain chemistry are enough to do that. Damage to other parts will let you forget the face of your own mother, or will delete certain memories. If there is an immaterial soul on top of the brain, it doesn't seem to capture any important aspects of my personality, mind or memories.

Not really. The dream is culture-dependent - but even if it were the same dream, we're all human after all, and all kinds of things are hardwired into us over the course of evolution. We are after all on average attracted to mates of the same species, get conditioned to our parents and so forth. So there are certain things hardwired into all of us via evolution which let you expect to see certain similarities.
