Questioning Reality: Are we for "Real"?

maybe 1+1=3 in another reality--maybe nothing can be represented by numbers at all--maybe all the things we think of as reality don't exist there, but some other inconceivable(to us) pattern.
ive thought about this a bit, but it really kind of makes my mind go in circles.

what is reality? its wat our sense tell us is round about us, true. Our senses have desieved us at least once in our lifetime and it not right to trust something that has willingly decieved us in the past so that would make our sense unreliable in determining realit. Wouldnt it?

Technically, everything is real, whether it be dreams, thoughts, or your turkey sandwich, just on different levels. I mean, you are having the thought/dream/sandwich, it is really happening. The dreams you have might not be happening to the person sleeping next to you, but you are experiencing what's going on so i guess it all depends on what level of "real" you're talkin' about.

I have thoughts about this subject often. I sometimes feel as though we are part of someone else's dream. When they awake, what will remain of us? Sometimes I feel like reality is only an experiment or it's as though we're dolls in a dollhouse or puppets on a string. This is confusing to me now that's it's on my computer screen and not floating around in my mind.

We are but a part of a huge world, created by a Force, whom we are here to be tested. When the test is done, we move on to the other realm, where we permanently exist without pain, or war, or hunger in the plain called heaven....
or the other place, where it is uncomfortable.

We are real, for the time we exist here on earth. We are more real when we exist in heaven. IMO. We are better off never existing if we end up somewhere else.

[/i]Conformity is inevitable, yet the more you think outside the box, the big box, the more you can bend reality and make "reality" more your own. Hopefully, those who think like this use what they know with good intentions.

Solipsism is the belief that you create your own reality; that it exists in your own head. There's a lot of anecdotal evidence showing that you can alter the state of reality. Concepts like affirmations, or even prayer (if you're of the religious persuasion) work on the idea that simply by praying to a higher power or writing something a bunch of times, the desired effect will occur.

I think, therefore, I am. But are you?

If we weren't for real, then we're for unreal - but nothing's changed, we're still functioning and thinking nonetheless, so isn't that a reality in itself? Who said reality was absolute! Only the stubborn bulls and goats would.

Are we real? Is that some stupid question or what? of course we’re real, when I look in the mirror I see a reflection therefore I exist . Unless I was a vampire, this would be confusing, I would not know whether I was real or not.
