Or we learn about lucid dreaming and maybe even experience it and the dream control and awareness and spawning things out of nowhere and changing our dream setting all by thinking about it, and recognize since we can't do that in real life then real life is not a dream.

Also I believe lucid dreaming and dreams in general are good counters to simulation argument, because you would essentially have to simulate everything twice, for every single dreaming organism on Earth simulatenously (real world and dream world) its not possible, and the rules of the physical world don't apply in dreams where quite literally anything is possible with a lucid dream you are in full awareness and control of you can create and experience anything, and give it its own physical rules and logical consistency or inconsistency - and its different from standard imagination and daydreaming too because it can feel as real as real life, and yet you can have total control over it with enough mastery and practice.

The more I think about it the more I realize dream/lucid dreams and perhaps even imagination and mental imagery itself disproves simulation theory or at least serves as a good argument against it, because according to the theory that would all have to simulated and have a physical origin of some sort, if you think about it in terms of conserving energy and resources it would be absurd for dreams to even be a thing if they need their own resources and processing power too it would make logical sense to just not include them ever, but yet we all dream, and we can even take control of our dreams with enough practice and some people are able to do it naturally, others have to learn, some dream but don't remember them, others dream vivid dreams and remember them fully as soon as they awaken. There is no logical consistency to it, there is no reason for them either, it makes more sense for it to be a byproduct of evolution and biology and the way our brains work.
