Really, think of this. What if we are somehow just some guy's dream. Or, perhaps, something happened to make us all on a sleep-like trance? Or, is it entirely possible one of you reading this right now is simply dreaming they're foruming.
If that last line is true, what a waste of a dream.
Explain. |

| An old guy said, "I think therefore I am", but this guy has no way to prove that he is not someone's dream just saying that. So as long as you can think then you know you are real, but you have no way to prove that to others. |

You needed reality to even say that.
Also, the phrase "I think therefore I am" is wrong on a metaphysical level.
Reality comes first. the phrase should really be "I am therefore I'll think" |

Are you saying things in your dreams are non-existent? Actually, did you know that thoughts and even dreams are physical? They exist as chemical reactions and electrical impulses in people's brains. If we were really all part of someone's dream, then we are made of those electrical impulses and we are actually inside a brain. Besides, doesn't your hypothesis sort of contradict your religion?
Maybe you should write a fiction book on this idea. Where all the people live in some dude's dream. |

Time does exist, because space can't exist without time. Since the start of our Universe time and space does exist.
It is possible that we're dreaming, because a dream feels real. But there has to be a "real world" and if i'm dreaming i would have a memory of the "real world", but i doesn't.

The phrase is "I think, therefore I am" because you are an individual, self-aware consciousness, so you must exist on a physical level.
Thus, I think, therefore I am. |

| Because I am a consciousness. If the universe was not real, I would be able to manipulate as I chose. |

That's not true Not all dreams have physics
Last night during my wet dream, my jizz was definitely not following the laws of physics |

Think about it in this way: Quantum physics:
Shrödinger's cat:
This cat was put in a box with a dangerous material, 50/50 of killing the cat. The box was completely sealed, so no one had any influence in what happens in it. Alright, so without us knowing for sure if the cat inside is dead or alive (a 50/50 ) It's pretty much both alive and dead. It's in a super-form of being both dead and alive...
It IS dead, and it IS alive.. And we don't know until we open the box. |

| If we are a dream, why do we feel pain, why do we love, why do we hate, why do we die? |

What if we are a computer simulation created by an intelligent life form?

| All of the above are possibilities, we basically could be part of a dream of a higher life form. |

| Because we are conscious, we must exist physically in some way. So if we are part of a dream like Spydig has suggested, then we are self-aware brain waves. Which are physical things that do exist. |
