Have you ever dreamed you were someone or something else then woke up? How do you know that you aren't a dream of yourself?

You are entering a place that is odd.
The kind of place where there might be something scary like a house burning in the middle of an ocean.
On that house, something clearly isn't burning.
That house's front door is not burning.
Prepare to enter The Scary Door

Imagine you're Neyo, and jump off a building. He didn't die, you probably will. It's all for the best.

Hmm...someone started this debate again 
...try reading Rene Descartes work about this matter....and I can't help myself for being a nerd in this matter xD
and reality or dreams are no different...they both the same..however one is ruled with senses and other rules by minds that has no senses to tell them the differences between the dream and the real..its the same deal as, how can we know we are playing SRO, whereas we don't exactly know that whether we are being played with in our own little world by some unknown external forces? What Morpheus said bears the mark of ignorance about this issue: '..If real is something that you can see, smell, or touch, then real is nothing more but brain impulses..'

I think it's pretty reasonable to think like this. The Matrix brings up a lot of good points about reality and whether or not it's actually "real". I often think about stuff like this while I'm on the john, like if it was actually a totally different reality, and this world is like a "vacation" simulating the life of another person in some hyper advanced program.

"Is anything is so self-evident that it cannot be doubted? Is it not possible that out lives are no more than dreams, or that the world is just a figment of our imaginations? Outlandish though, these notions are, the mere fact that they are conceivable shows the reality of the physical world can be doubted.
There are other ideas, however, which seem to be so clear and self-evident that they must be true. For instance, whether you are awake or asleep, two plus two makes four. A triangle must have three sides whether the world, real or imaginary, contains triangles or not.
But what if God, or some powerful, malicious demon, is tricking you? Couldn't such an evil spirit fool you into believing that the false is obviously true? Haven't we seen hypnotists make people count to ten, unaware that they have missed out the number seven? And what of the man who, in a dream, hears four strikes of the clock tower bell and finds himself thinking, "How odd. The clock struck one four times!"
If the evil demon is a possibility, is there anything which is beyond doubt?"

but i see no point in thinking we're in the matrix. If we're going to go down that route we might as well start considering all reality to be the dream of a much more imaginative super being. Not that im ruling out these possibilities just saying they're not worth, thinking to much about...

Then what about moderate fantasizing about it once in a while? And what if we collectively thought so hard, we trancended the "super being's" abilities with our own? Imagine what would happen to us all, would we cease to exist as a whole, or would we dream up our own world? Like in FFX's world of Spira. The possibilities are endless for it.
For each his own perfect world, maybe the only way we can all truly be alive.

Yeah, i'm unplugged and I came to warn you.
The reality you're seeing now is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

don't care, as long as i can feel that im living, and happy
yes, im just a dream. when human die, it becomes ghost, ghost dreams about another life, when that life end it also becomes a ghost, the ghost in the dream also dream about another life and so on. Like that we'll have an eternal life

In a dream, when a heavy accident will happen to you, you'll wake up. In real life you won't wake up in some other life.
PS: Don't try kill yourself by an accident, lol.

Who cares if it was? You're obviously not the chosen one so you're not responsible for fighting sentinels and saving mankind. Do your homework, go to college, get married, die, end of story.
