There's more to me than what you "think" is there.
There is much more "left-out" that I keep secret.
If further questions are left, than a PM will suffice.

there is a lot more to you Angel....we are all complex individuals...but there is a beautiful gift inside you that no one will ever poses but you!!

That is the most insightful thing I have ever read, Mary.

Don't be sorry! My music is distracting me from the current issue.

I hardly doubt it. You're not stupid at all.
Just a little "silly" at times.

Surely whether or not we're real depends purely on the meaning of the word 'real' within this context?

I do not believe we're 'a momentary dream of some higher being' - doesn't seem plausable at all. That again pre-supposes you mean dream in the same sort of way we use it, as an unconscious state of being, usually manifesting itself in sleep.

Regardless, you seek assurance the world is real. Why? What difference would it make? It would not affect you per se; your surroundings must by definition remain the same as you understand them now...

Frankly I do not think there's much doubt we're real. I do not really think it's a particularly helpful philosophical concept, either, but that's just my opinion.

Thanks for your thead.

I find that "momentary dream" bit a little true.
Not of "a higher being" of a cosmic dream,
the universe had to inflate it'self with life.
