I've been thinking about this a lot and it's something that will make your mind turn.
How do I know you exist? If I am "dreaming" this, you are just my mind telling me you exist. You may be reading this knowing you exist but then how do you know I exist and I'm not in your imagination?
Get what I mean?
What is very weird about this is that it's plausible. Nobody (assuming you all do exist) can make someone 100% sure they exist, which sounds crazy I know! Our conclusions are based on what fits our reality.
But what does it matter if our reality isn't real because there is no way to escape that, except, possibly death.
Mindf***?

For those who know what Schrdinger's Cat is, read on (or watch anyway, your choice). For anyone else, click the spoiler and watch.
So, I think that this is linked to it because as we cannot know, either only you exist, I exist or both!

What if everything we believe isn't real is actually someone else's imagination?

um.. I think you may be thinking too hard about this.. it'd be much more simpler to say that you and I exist.

Yeah, I get what you mean. I sometimes think it's like when we play a game, the characters think they have free will but we are really controlling them.

Themadgamer wrote Yes, I've thought of this and it makes me feel like Truman on the Truman show,
It's like, what if I'm the only person in existence and everyone else is of my imagination, or vise versa, what if everyone else is fake and just a control to my course of history and it keeps going, everything is a test and planned out to control the way we move through life
