Wow... I think you're demanding a bit too much from the forum-dwellers. That has been a conundrum of humanity's for millenia, and I don't think we'll be able to solve it here. The closest we ever got to answering this, I think, was when Rene Descartes claimed: 'I think, therefore I am', and that so far hasn't gotten us anywhere. Good luck, though.
If I don't truly exist and am just a dream, then I want to be retired right now with anything I can dream of, like my Jetpack I need. *thinks hardly* Nope, no Jetpack and I'm still in school.
If I'm part of your imagination, then give me my Jetpack now at the very least!!! Let my nonexistent life be fun at least! If you can give me a Jetpack right now, I'll accept that I am part of your imagination.

I believe that I exist. In order to believe, I must think. The fact that I am thinking indicates that physical currents of electricity and equally physical chemical reactions are occurring within my brain, which I can infer from the above is also a physical thing. Hence I exist.
If this line of logic turns out to be flawed, though, I really couldn't give two shits. I enjoy the illusion I perceive to be life, so the idea that I may not actually be experiencing it is irrelevant.
Also? If I'm a figment of your imagination, then you've clearly got a truly obscene mind.

Dry would indicate the discrepancy between wetness and not wetness, ergo existence and non-existence, using the analogy literally. Therefore, one would have to define "dry", or define "existence" first, before we could even begin to tackle the why.Kwil said:

I think, I breath, I live. I don´t dissapear when you go, I don´t go away. I am always present in this great oblivion that is life. Either that, or I´m a spambot that got to far.
You decide.
You decide.
I can prove the existence of myself, and anything that exists only due to its definition. For instance, justice exists, if only for the soul reason that its existence is merely based on the definition of justice. Justice would therefor be different for almost everyone, but because it exists within definition, it exists.
Easier example; shapes. A shape does not have to physically exist to be existing. A triangle is a three-sided figure (plus other specific jargon), a square has four equal sides, and you don't need to see a square drawn on the bathroom wall to quantify its existence.
I could technically say God exists, but only by the pantheistic, or panentheistic (those two are essentially the same thing) definition. Even if there's nothing else, at least I exist, and therefor if I'm everything, I am this form of God, because this form of God is described is everything. Or rather, God is me, if you're going with the panentheistic one. And it is also everything else that exists, whether or not it is physical.
Someone better stop me now, I'm having fun.

No.
Not like it matters, honestly, every last one of these responses could be produced by your subconscious.
But seriously though, everyone's had this thought at one point in time or another. Personally had it a lot as a young lad.
I've moved on to nihilism. I've only got a few more isms to go before I get a free logy.
