I found asian philosophies very interesting in this regard. There is an interesting Hindu philosophy about 4 states - awake, sleep, dream and turiya. In below video, lecturer explained them very beautifully. ▶ this video Also you might enjoy Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid where author tried to explain self-referential systems. If you pick up any interest in asian philosophies, try link and link
I'm not sure if it is a "proof" of any sort, but I find the ideas in the माण्डूक्य उपनिषद् (Mandukya Upanishad link ) to be a very interesting point of view. This short text discusses the theory of four states of consciousness: Waking \ Dreaming > Turiya ≝ pure consciousness illuminating these Deep dreamless sleep / These two lectures were very good: - ▶ this video - link And you can read the original text here: link
The entropic brain hypothesis reminds me of the Mandukya Upanishad. I or Ego is neither the waking state, neither the sleep state and nor the dream state, but the one from all these states emanate from. ▶ this video
