Do you believe that you're real, or are you convinced that this reality is all a mere figment of imagination?
For example, if God were to exist, do you think this is simply a part of his imagination? Is this all a simulation, or game? Is this reality.. reality?
Do you believe you are a figment of the imagination, as well, or do you feel different because you have sentience and awareness? Do you feel real, or do things slide away from you just as easily as they come?
Are you real? If you are, congratulations. If you're not, do you just lie to yourself to feel relevant or special?

If God is imagining to me, I still exist. I just exist inside a mind. Either way the world is vaster than any one of us can possibly comprehend. So I don't really care.

I also find myself incapable of thinking that I am not sentient, even though I have no externally verifiable evidence of this.
