The human mind is not required to validate the existence of anything that exists independent of it such as things that exist but are not known to
exist.
Everything is already known and is existing right now all at once. Else nothing would become known if it wasn't already known. The mind is known, it is the re-cogniser of all that is known by unborn formless awareness that always is.

The scene can exist without there being any conscious thought about it, sure, just like your body still exists in deep sleep when there is no conscious awareness of it being there...but in order for any thing to be known, there has to be something that is always present in which the knowing can arise, that presence is boundless unborn formless awareness which is present in both sleep and waking life.

more ever again. Or there might be. But it is not actually necessary
The no more ever again is the dream, dreams don't ever repeat exactly, but for any dream to appear and disappear there has to be an always present dreamer that does not appear or disappear....Basically, you are both the dreamer and the dream simultaneously. You are the dreaming awareness of the dream and the dreamt character in the dream, the dreamt character comes and goes in the dreamer, but the dreamer is unborn and therefore cannot die.

In other words, there is here only awareness dreaming it is a human.
