No.
You are imagining yourself.

The key to life is perception. The best quote I've ever heard or read is "Cogito Ergo Sum" - I think therefore I am. Now for your question of "Does existence exist?" Use the phrase I have given you. You will find that existence does exist.

No doubt I exist, if only as the thinker of these thoughts. But if anything exists, then it presumably ‘has existence,’ and exists in virtue of its ‘having existence.’ How then can existence fail to exist? Grossmann insists, “If existence did not exist, then nothing would exist.”[i] For if things exist in virtue of having existence, but there is no such ‘property’ as existence, then nothing exists. Existence...is not something of which it might properly be said that ... it ‘exists’ or ‘does not exist.’ In other words, a ‘category’ of being cannot be applied to existence. It can be applied only to what exists.

Many scientists believe we live on a brane (membrane). I don't know if that means we really exist or not. We are all energy, formed into matter, and will one day revert back to energy again. Your existence may be purely an illusion. However, the fact that one is able to perceive that illusion, possibly making exploitations based on it, may make us real.

Of course. But, so does the lack of existence. Think about that! Whoa!

Ever cut yourself? Did it hurt? That is proof of existence.

Existance depends upon Attachment
Attachment depends upon Desire
Desire depends upon Sensation
Sensation depends upon Contact
Contact depends upon Mental and Physical phenomena
Mental and Physical phenomena depend upon Consciousness
Consciousness depends upon mental and physical phenomena
Mental and physical phenomena depend on Contact
Contact depends on desire
Desire depends on attachment
Attachment depends on Existance
Existance depends upon Birth
ergo, if there is birth, there is Existance.

We are hypnotized/socialized into believing it/we exist.

Until we can wake up.......or die......we will:

a) continue the dream

b) stumble along trying to prove/disprove existence
