how do i know im not in a coma somewhere dreaming all of this up? could it be possible for your mind while in suspended animation to create your own world to keep ur mind active? this "dream" created by ur mind would have to be strong enough to react with ypur nerves and create pain and pleasure
(this is not like the Matrix but rather we arent supported by artifical inteligance but by man operated intelegance and we are all not one, this is just MY fantasy world)

What is your imagination? What is reality?
The way I look at it. This is your reality right now so we are not figments of your imagination.
If we are a dream and you wake-up, then you will have a new reality to live.
It's about the here and now.

Good point First I get your question because when you are asleep dreams at that time seem very real, especially if your like me and dream all the time.However, Does it really matter because if it is all a dream then what can you do but enjoy it and make it the best you can. Which is the same advice you would be given if it weren't a dream and it were real....oh lord I'm confusing my self the point is YOU ARE IN CONTROL (too some extent whether is is a dream or not is irrelevant ) as you said" dream created by Ur mind would have to be strong enough to react with your nerves and create pain and pleasure" so use the resources to make your dream LIFE GOOD

It is highly possible to be dreaming this reality...It is possible that everyone that interacts with you was created by you..I think the greatest twilight zone episode was the one where a group of people were in a study...The started chatting about reality, and came to the conclusion that one of them in that room could be dreaming everyone else up...The were afraid to seperate or go to bed....It was the most thought provocing television program I have ever seen...
Just in case, Dont go to wake up...I havent done everything I have wanted yet....ha ha...And I must say, you could make my life much more interesting and alot easier...Come on, how about the good life for me...

I've often thought of this same question...err or is it you who has thought of this same question?
I was just thinking of this the other day...wouldn't that be so weird? But what about our dreams? So are we making up dreams while in our coma as well?

We could be just that: a figment of your imagination! Why not? Who is to determine what is truly reality or fantasy? What is "reality" for one person, might be non-existent for another. Just "wish" us away, baby, and we're gone!

Exactly. One person's reality may be someone else's dream world.

You know that simply because no matter how hard you tried you could never even come close to imagining me...
and that's a fact Jack!

If I'm a figment of your imagination -- you poor sucker,
you have one helluva goofy imagination.

You can never be sure. At some point you have to be pragmatic and call things as you see them.
