Yeah, my point was simply that we have “p-zombies” of sorts involving sleep, which demonstrate that you can take complex actions conscious-like reacting to the real world during sleep which would normally (if done while waking) seem to entail intense emotion but appear to not involve real emotion much or at all. So that helps support the idea that in a different part of sleep, you could be taking complex actions conscious-like reacting to a mental world which would seem to entail intense emotions but aside from the remembered content and some weak physiological traces like sweat or heart-rate, do not appear to involve real emotion much or at all.
(Which part of ‘sleep’ the former happens in is not too important; but of course it is better if it can happen in REM proper, to more strongly support the thesis that it could happen elsewhere during REM.)
