"God" sounds like a good answer, but he is part of this reality. His loyalties are with this reality. I fear we just can't judge it, and this makes me sad.

I want to believe in reality, but at the same time I want to observe strict self-honesty.

This is actually the deepest of all philosophical questions, what is reality.
The answer is, we don't know. The only thing we know for sure is that thought, is real. Your home, your computer, your body could be the figment of your imagination or the creation of a hirer power to trick you, but your thoughts are real, even when you dream, what you think is still what you think, they are just as real in the dream as they are when you awake.
So take comfort in that, that the saying "I think, there for I am" is actually true, and may be all that is true.

A dream is your brain erasing information from your memory. You can learn to control your dreams. When I am dreaming and something too good to be true is happening, I try to read something or look at a coin. The brain can't process this type of info fast enough while dreaming and the result is shifting print or changing demoninations of coins, etc. When I experience this in a dream, I know I am dreaming and I wake up. It is not 'being awake' that tells me it is not real. Reality is tested in the dream, and it fails the test.

Maybe this Life is just a dream. You may awake one day and be a drop of rain in the thirty second universe or a leaf on a baccus tree in ret. Just as you awake a wide middor takes a bite and your history.Unless, that'sa dream too and you awake in....

There's no way to really prove what is real and what is not, it's all what you percieve to be real. We just assume it to be real, but I don't know why. I'd rather have the "dream reality" be real because it's so much more bizarre than being awake.

All I can say is that my dreams are my preferred reality. (maybe that's why i'm late to work everyday, my dreaming reality is much better than ordinary reality -- which is actually a nightmare!)

theres really no way to tell except that you wake up. naturally our waking state feels more real but it is only the act of waking that we can use to judge reality
