Question: How do you know you, and/or Everything/Everyone around you is Real!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The Secret Beyond Matter is very interesting, it talks about how your perceived reality is all in your brain!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, I suppose you really don't know!. The only thing you can be sure about is that you are real!. Everything else could, conceivably, be a really good illusion or an elaborate computer program!. Regardless if everything is 'real' or not, you still have to live in your present situation and do the best you can!. So for all intents and purposes, even if this is an illusion, it is still the reality you're stuck in!.

good luck! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm pretty sure that i'm real (Descartes - I think therefore I am)
The things around me I assume to be real though it is impossible to prove with 100% certainty!. It's the difference between inductive and decuctive reasoning!. You cannot reason other people deductively!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If "real" is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then "real" is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain!.

Who knows, maybe my reality is different to yours!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if it requires deep thoughts or involves pain -- it's real!. Sometimes a bit too real!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you are real, then everything around you are real too!. Because they belong to you!. They are all yours!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Logical analysis!. It's far more likely than any other "theory"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
