Life hasn't given me a reason to doubt my existence, but there are times when you really have to wonder. It's just, if we don't exist, then what are we?

i asked this ? so many times it not funny and the only i get out of it is my head hurting I know exactly what you mean. I mean when I think about it I go into these deep thoughts that I can't even explain really..and it's like "what if we don't exist? What if we're part of someone's dream? what if that person who is having the dream doesn't exist?!? what if someone who doesn't exist is having a dream that I'm thinking that I'm just part of someone who doesn't exists' s dream?!?!? yeah....weird....

haha i've asked myself this questions MANY times but I always unfortunately come to the same conclusion: we can NEVER really know! Who knows, we might even be dreaming this whole thing, our energy being used by machines who took over the world ( l.o.l yea matrix^^) although if this really was true, i'm very disappointed in myself for my lack of imagination!

The fact that u question ur own existence proves u exist....conscious thought proves a conscious existence...if u weren't real u would not be able to question that fact....if we were living i a reality created by machines the question would be does this reality exist? not do we exist...our functioning brains...the ones that question our existence prove it....

but does it really? ? how does that prove anything?....someone could have made us think that we're thinking these things, when really it's their dream and their dreaming about making us think that we think therefore we are. How can you ever know?

because of depth...dreams don't include the dreams of the people questioning thier own existence people can't dream the feelings...dreams contain a haze thoughts are clear there is no way that we don't exist....a better question is how or why...we're because he have conscious thought....u don't have that if ur a figment of subconscious thought....its that simple i think therefore i am

your brain can tell you whatever it thinks, and when you're in your sub-conscious (however you spell that) you think it's true, that's why dreams feel so real. There are no rules in dreaming....that would contradict it being a dream.... also.... you don't really KNOW that, is what i'm saying. It's a nice thought, but you don't KNOW 500% that it's the absolute truth.
