Nothing is real. Our beliefs make it a reality. Everything existing whether you believe in it or not, know it or not...You are the one who gives reality to chosen subjectives...Disbelief as belief creates reality which we call miserable sometimes but not always....that which you disbelieve would be a subject of belief of some others . Their reality is positive , your reality of disbelief is negative ...for you only. Answering your question more directly, things which is real for another often not real for you and vise versa...If that, stated above will be accepted then it well may create another reality for you...being neutral to statements means not to change your reality in this time and that way, being denied that imply disbelief here with consequences of another created reality. Make sense?

Yes.
The confusion arises because of the way be understand the term "real" and "exist".
In a deep philosophical sense "real" means not subject to decay and destruction, and "exist" means being perceived by the sense organs (along with the brain). Let me explain it by examples.
Take the case of dream state. Sometimes in our dream we see something that appears so true that we actually believe it to be true. A ferocious tiger in our dream may feel so true that we wake up scared and perspiring. After we wake up we realize that the tiger was not "real" (it disappeared), but so long as we were in the dream state it "existed" (our senses and the brain perceived it to be so). Only after we moved to a higher level of awareness (here wake state) that we find that the tiger was not "real". Sometimes we mistake a rope in the dark as snake and get frightened; during that time the snake "exists" (senses and the brain perceive a snake). It is only after there is light (higher level of awareness) that we find out that the snake was not "real" (it disappeared once we reached the higher level of awareness).
So, at a lower level of awareness things may "exist" but they may not be "real" (as corroborated at the higher level of awareness).

This is very possible, because to exist is to be real. When a human being is just existing and not being their real selves, than what is the purpose to life, if not too be a real human existing on a real planet.

Dreaming and daydreaming are perfect examples of this. Yes you and other things can exist in your dreams or daydreams, things that you can see/feel/touch/etc., but is this real? Most would say no. I however may be inclined to debate on that a bit because dreams are not necessarily this reality but a different reality.

What then is real? to exist it must somehow be known in some form of logic or ill logical form. what then does exist for me to say and know it is.?As my eyes and mind are opened to the possibilities to know it does indeed exist . history has proved with each day, existence's.

Good question. In my opinion, if it exists and at least one person KNOWS it exists, then yes it's real. If it exists, but no one knows about it, then it isn't real.
Reality is all in your head.

Concepts that have existence, but not reality. Santa, for one.
