Ye-ess, although "neurologically" seems to me to somehow miss the point. My experience when reading a book in which one of the characters tells a story-within-the-story is neurologically not qualitatively different from my experience when reading a book that's only one layer deep, but that doesn't stop it being a story depicted within the story.
I can see that for some purposes dreams and deliberate fiction are very different things, but for the purposes of me waking up afterwards and going "wow, that was really cool", I'm inclined to treat dreams as basically a kind of improvised fiction... |
