Answer 4

Haha... Interesting question. I actually dodged around this specific issue a little while ago on another question, but it looks like I was lured back to it.

The answer is maybe, maybe not. I think it is. I mean, it's as real as real can be; you perceive vision, you perceive pain, pleasure, sound, sensation, you perceive all these things. That cannot be argued. Their validity and reality can be argued, but the fact that you perceive them cannot.

You are where you are. Even if where and what you are was an elaborate lie like the Truman show or some such, it's all the reality you've got; you can't transcend it, or if you can, you don't know how. So just live with what you've got. The world is an interesting place.

*Disclaimer: I knew as soon as I typed it that when I said you might be able to transcend this world somebody thought "Death." Don't rush it. It happens to everybody eventually. Take your time with what you've got right now and it will come naturally enough.

Answer 5

Of course it is real!!! What else could it be?

Answer 6

I don't know, maybe not!

You know, I've always wondered if everyone in the world isn't just crazy. Take schizophrenic people, for instance. They will swear to you that they have friends who aren't actually there. What if we're all schizophrenic and we ALL have friends who aren't really there?!

Or those dreams people have that seem SO real - what if I'm dreaming right now?!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!...

Answer 7

for you it is reality.
