What if I'm asleep in a hospital somewhere and I could die any moment they decide to pull the plug?!?! 
Jesus why has my mind been giving me existential crisises at night this week?

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?
than inconsistencies would happen WAY more often
How do you know your mind isn't simply ignoring them, or altering your memories to make the inconsistencies fit?
Idk how do you know a goblin isn't replacing your brain and piloting it around and hiding in the folds between reality when you check
This sums up this thread very well
Not to minimise experiences of breaks with reality/paranoia/psychosis, it can be very scary.
So you're not living a life facing endless, exhausting inconsistencies?
They are already happening annoyingly often.
A "consistency" rather than an inconsistency would be vanishingly rare.
You can look at people's political opinions as an example.
those are consistent "inconsistencies". most of them are consistently explainable with real phenomena, they just don't make sense if you're trying to follow the same train of logic. other things, like the material situations people have can lead to tons of inconsistencies in their beliefs based on what they're exposed to and, to an extent, "paid" to believe
