strawberryman is right and in case anyone doen't get it... everyone is always intent on questioning everything but the real question is why must we question everything.
but if u really want to insist on being a dream then tell me... can a dream question wheather he exists?
Hmm, please stop playing Silent Hill before you get more ideas in your head.Quote:

I know I think and therefor know I am. I also feel, but how do I know you do? I really don't. The same way, you know you think and you feel, but how do you know everyone else does. Maybe we're all part of your imagination.Quote:
"I think, therefore I am."
Tidus thought and felt.
The answer is clearly "no".
Things suck too much not to be true.
People suck too much to be figments of my immagination.
The end.
I think therefore I yam.
I"m told we exist, and it sounds logical to me^_^
Your all way to practical...
The poll was an attempt at intelligent conversation, and it failed horribly (sort of).
How do you know that we are all not just some plaything of a higher diety?
How do you know we aren't just something imagined by god/satan/whatever you belive in?
There is no real way of knowing; you're not going to get profound evidence that will prove either side. It's just not possible. It's all faith, what you have come to believe in.
So yes, I believe we exist. I have my reasons, of course, but telling you them won't make you change what you believe in. I can't back up my beliefs with any cold, hard evidence, either. I would if I could; it would be nice to be reassured. But that's just....not the way it goes.
:D
All life and matter is merely highly complex forms of energy.
it doesn't matter either way
If I didn't exist then why would I be wearing this hat?
Because you were about to make me dinner.
Existence doesn't matter. Even if you believed well enough that you don't exist, you'd still feel pain and sorrow and emptiness. Not that these emotions define existence but denying it will not allow you to escape them.
Whether we are but the dream of another is beyond our consideration. We should continue to strive for happiness here even if it is meaningless to someone else. You feel, you see, you think, you question, you are and cannot stop being.
Here's a fact: these words have no real meaning. humans made up this language along with thousands of other languages. thus, these words, beyond our perception, have absolutely no purpose or meaning. Yet, they are, and we continue to use them in this language as other cultures use other meaningless words in their languages.
We'd might as well be cavemen saying "oohooh ahah." As our language to any who has not learned it would sound just like that.
