  Eastern world was engulfed in the mysticism of the unknowable Maya, Cosmic Egg, Yin-Yang etc., when unitary-noncommunicative- mono-theistic mysticism of Islam conquered most of it (still meditating!). The Western world is now engulfed in the same mysticism, when who knows what will conquer it? Marxist-Socialist-Fascism? Islam? Anarchy?

   Western science dealt with the electric, entropic physical world of “light-matter and its chemistries” for physical phenomena so far, it is time to deal with the physical world of “dark-matter and its chemistries” for mental phenomena. And get out of the rut of un-knowable.

To invoke anything physical/apperant will need some highly non computationalist hypothesis in the cognitive science. As physics confirms the most startling consequences of Mechanism (many-worlds and non Boolean (quantum) logic for the Observable, I think that such an idea is premature. 
The Dream Argument, like the emulation argument, illustrates that observation does not help, and can be misleading, to decide what the fundamental ontology could be. After the discovery of the computer (universal Turing machine) and computations *in Arithmetic*, I think that (weak) materialism will disappear like vitalism has disappeared in biology: an unnecessary superstition.
