A pair of double D's

So today the roommates and myself had a conversation about what life really is. I have had the blog about the meaning of life, but this one is about what life really is. Very philosophical, I know. What if the life you are living right now is merely a dream? You would really have no way of knowing whether it is or not. What if you are really asleep in a bubble somewhere? Or what if the world doesn't exist? We are just forces and thoughts and no more. There is no body or anything physical, it is all in your mind. We are merely thoughts. What if this is life? What if death is actually just waking up or changing dreams and thoughts? What if our life doesn't exist at all? What if I am just a creation of your mind and I am not real? How would you react if you found that life is fake? What if you "woke up" tomorrow and realized that this "life" was only a dream? Would you be pissed or relieved? I think I would be relieved. I mean to have the chance at a second "life." However, I am pretty sure this is a "real" life because if weren't then I why are all the best girls not mine? But then again, maybe I create life like this so that I won't question it. Yeah I know I'm confusing even myself. But how are we seriously to know if life isn't a dream?
