In real life I can make errors all the time. I hear person knocking at a door and believe it is Paul. It turns out to be Eva. I see a an animal walking by and believe it is a poodle. In reality it is a cat. And so on.

But suppose I dream that I hear a person knocking at a the door and dream that I believe that it is Paul. I then dream that it really is Eve. Am I dreaming that I am making a mistake or am I really making a mistake? If we suppose the former (as I believe that we should), should we conclude that we cannot make mistakes in dreams?

Derems are part of ourself. I believe that you are worried about mistakes. There are dream books out there. Try looking for them, you might be surprised at what you might discover. P.S. If yourr dreams scare you think carefully about what has happened to you.

I have made a mistake in a dream. I dreamed I was treating a patient in the back of an ambulance (the patient, setting, ambulance, and other EMTs are all real ones I know exist) and did something that harmed the patient. This is more an actual mistake than guessing incorrectly. So I think we can make mistakes in dreams.

Well in dreams you can make mistakes which is true but only true within your dream itself, while in reality your just in a unconscious state of mind; to sum it up in the current situation for the errors; dream = yes / reality = no

You cannot make error in dreams. If only we could control what we see and do in our dreams, we would be more happier than the day man landed on the moon

dreams can be a mix of random things that have been spoken about or seen in your real life or exaggerated versions of things/situations. I dont think they would be errors.

You can't make a mistake in your dream,

because your dream is not reality. <}:-})
