While one can understand how a broken ankle could trip a horse, explanations of consciousness, dreams or hallucinations have no working explanation. So I don't think Occams Razor can be used, it is useful to choose the least complex theory but since no one knows how to model these, one cannot argue a brain model version is simpler or even practical from only raw material via natural selection alone.

Indeed, that's what objectivity is. The funny thing is that these objectively-agreed events keep happening even while we're not paying attention.
