let me tell you guys a story: a girl that I like added me a guy in my messenger list (msn) is it possible that she and that guy are the same person? for her to have 2 ids open in the same time? and chatting with me on 2 levels? the "guy" asks me all sort of things (personal stuff) if you know if it's possible tell me! I know 4 sure that's the case, just can't prove it! the thing is that I don't mind if she's doing that, just that she should ask me in person right?

We know that the thing we saw is real but we do not know the thing is real.(Descartes)
Simply Descartes say that we are sure what we see but really it can be something different. If I see an apple but in real it is an orange, I see an apple and that is something real.
Berkeley will say that it is there because you perceived it!
My cheap idea is that (almost like Berkeley) you see the world, you perceive it and that's why it is there! ;Berkeley will not probably talk like a solipsist but I can say that you create everything around you and your mind is real you feel this(I think therefore I am). If you are real my friend, everything around you is you and real.

This is similar to a question philosophers asked years ago "This world could be the corner of someones shoe". Remember the end of the 1st Men In Black? There is no way of knowing. Twilight Zone even did a couple takes on perception of the world. I can say this: search for the truth. connect with God.

We don't. We could be in the Matrix for all we know, or as Descartes wrote in the 18th century, we could be under the spell of an evil demon. Nobody will ever prove otherwise.

We don't know that this world is the real world. This is a question that has been plaguing the minds of scientists and philosophers for centuries. I guess a world is only as real as it seems, and as long as you think it's real, it ultimately is.

It's real, but is it the ultimate reality is the question. A dream is real while you are in it, but upon waking you realise it's context. This world and our lives are real, but it's merely temporary, like a dream.

This question has more than one side, with many angles and leaves out the focus point. "of" to all inclusive , which can not give accurately to fill your question.

reality is the random but constant movement of change.
