This is quite a silly idea. Sure it sounds all deep and profound, and indeed is quite thought provoking. But this idea falls apart under the slightest examination. It is easy to prove you exist. You have the ability to have an impact on the world right? well, if we didn't exist, we wouldn't be able to impact the world in the slightest. Also, suppose our life on earth is really nothing more than a Dream? I don't know about yours, but I tend to have very realistic dreams. I may go through very real emotions, pain, or exhuberance, but the whole time, I am, at the very least, aware that I am dreaming. That is why for good dreams you don't want to wake up, while for bad dreams, we are very anxious to leave our subconcious state. If we take that and apply it to this life, If this were a dream state, We would know it at some point in time.

I don't know if this was serious or not, so I treated it as such. If it was a joke, I'll laugh with you.
