What's the difference between making claims about nearby objects and making claims about qualia (if there is one)? If I say there's a book to my left, is that saying something about qualia? If I say I dreamt about a rabbit last night, is that saying something about qualia?

(Are claims of the form "there is a book to my left" radically incorrect?)

That is, is there a way to distinguish claims about qualia from claims about local stuff/phenomena/etc?
