Weatherson's fifth objection holds that the appearance of a person or event in a dream does not mean the person or event cannot exist in real life. If a person dreams about visiting London and meeting Gordon Brown, it does not follow that because the city of London and Gordon Brown appeared in a dream, they do not exist in real life. Specific to the Westphall Hypothesis, even if we accept that "St. Elsewhere" is Westphall's dream, it does not imply that all of the characters on the show exist only in his mind. Therefore, appearances from "St. Elsewhere" characters on other shows are not sufficient to indicate that those shows exist only in Westphall's dream.
