I find George Berkley an insightful philosopher in many ways. One puzzle I have is over his view of time as 'the succession of ideas'. Would he contend that our calendar and daily clock times are due to both God's direct imprinting of sensory ideas according to regular natural laws on our minds, and making the structure of human minds similar in their receiving of those perceptions/ideas? (We all receive ideas at the same basic rate). Also, when we dream or people are in a coma, do perceptions somehow continue unabated in our minds?
