What if I'm asleep in a hospital somewhere and I could die any moment they decide to pull the plug?!?!

What if one's mind is making it all up as one goes through the dream, and inconsistencies are rationalized away as being the result of not remembering details?
How do you know your mind isn't simply ignoring them, or altering your memories to make the inconsistencies fit?
So you're not living a life facing endless, exhausting inconsistencies?
They are already happening annoyingly often.
You can look at people's political opinions as an example.
