Isn't it not real until you make it real?

Isn't reality an illusion?

Do I even exist?  Do you all even exist?  Do these words I am typing, does this laptop I am using, does this internet I am relying on... are they truly real, or a figment of my (non-existent) imagination?

wait.  was this supposed to be a casual game?

If you think about it, whilst you are typing, you are thinking as well so does the famous quote by Descartes "I think therefore I am" come into play?

Could you not still be an illusion, despite perceiving thoughts?  Do we not 'think' as characters in our dreams, which we know to be unreal?  Can thoughts not be, in themselves, illusions?

Yes, I have always wondered whether that quote makes any sense, but then I remember, how can we be sure our thoughts are even real? What if our thoughts are also non-existent? What if we are all dreaming, and this is my dream - where I am on earth, writing on a forum, and everyone here is all figments of my imagination - and each of you have your own dream, or may not even exist at all, and are just part of my imagination? What if the reality that we dream is the reality presented to us? Maybe I am dreaming about earth, and this is just a very long dream, and earth doesn't really exist at all?

A dream within a dream perhaps? Branching off from what you are suggesting, sometimes we (or I?) have nonsensical dreams such as becoming the boxing world champion, then my eye turns to gold so I run into a pawn shop and ask how much I could sell it for but then the boxing referee was actually a mafia boss and wants my golden eye so I swim away but end up winning the Olympic Golden medal.
Could our dreams also be memories of our past lives or alter egos in a different universe?

Could we be living the lives of those similar in the "Matrix" or "Inception"? Or are we simply patients of a mental health institution that simulates "reality" in our sleep due to our inability to perceive our very own reality? Or as the saying goes, arent we just a bunch of atoms studying about atoms?

What constitutes a philosophical thread anyway?
