You seem to be saying something along the lines of '...if it had been planted by an outside agency then it would have been planted by an outside agency and wouldn't that be interesting' which sounds a bit like the kind of speculation that leads to belief in supernatural things. I have never had any convincing reason to believe that anyone's dream was caused by information not gathered through the senses.
But you used to, right?
You're making more of what said than what I meant. I was merely asking whether or not the possibility existed that one can have a dream not caused by information gathered through the senses. And then I suggested that if it was a possibility, then the dream would be caused by an outside agency. I didn't state categorically that any of it was a fact. Just making conversation is all.
You made it clear what you think about that, and as I said in another post I'm good with that.

[1] I don't think so.
[2] I can't see how.

In recent months it's become increasingly apparent to me that "Kindred Spirits" may actually simultaneously send, receive and process impromptu/spontaneous Kindred Spirit Memos at odd hours of the day and night.
“If you disagree with something, it's easier to say 'you suck' than to figure out and explain exactly what you disagree with. You're also safe that way from refutation. In this respect trolling is a lot like graffiti. Graffiti happens at the intersection of ambition and incompetence: people want to make their mark on the world, but have no other way to do it than literally making a mark on the world.” ―Paul Graham
