Is time sequential? Do you really experience things in little discrete bits that come in random order that your brain reassembles so they appear to occur in the way we’re used to. E. g., you tie your left shoe, then get into bed, then cook dinner, then tie your right shoe…
From the Golden Age of Spanish literature, a famous passage from Pedro Calderón de la Barca’s play “La vida es sueño” (“Life is a Dream”): ¿Qué es la vida? Una ilusión, una sombra, una ficción, y el mayor bien es pequeño; que toda la vida es sueño, y los sueños, sueños son. . .(What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a fiction, and the greatest good is small; all of life is a dream, and dreams themselves are dreams …")

Reality has a constancy from one waking day to the next. Dreams aren’t even consistent from one moment to the next.
