I would assume that my imagination is real.

[NormannTheDoorman]

My brain is real.

My mind is a product of this mass of neurons.

Memories and mental pictures are real.

I have a mental picture and a character description of Queen Elsa from Frozen in my mind therefore she is real.

(And subject to the full power of my imagination) oh boy


I keep trying to find a way to start a stimulating discussion but I don't know how. I sort of intend to discuss reality and how we perceive it. Not sure if this is the way to go.

Start there.

I came. I read. I died....


But I get it. The gist of it at least.

I don't think it was 100% perfect for what the OP described but I figured it would get you pretty close. I don't have time right now, but I would assume that if you looked around you'd find that this system of think probably exists and has been written about.
