Locke Cogito Dream Dotto
In the cogito argument, Descartes said,"I think, therefore, I am." In book II, Locke starts to talk about ideas, perception, and retention. He says we get these interpretations from our senses and experiences. He also says that there is nothing beyond the conscious mind, which I do not agree with.

For example, latent learning is unconsciously formed and can often show up in our dreams. However is imagination limited to our experiences?
