    A French philosopher came up with this answer to your question: I think, therefore I am. (Because we can think about the world, we do exist.)

    No, we do not live two lives. Our minds create a complete--or incomplete--scenario when we dream. Dreaming is a way of dealing with what happened during the real, awake part of the day. We have fears, emotions, and desires, which come out in dreams.

    You are precious, special and important because God made you that way, and nothing anyone can say or do can ever change that. And nothing you can say or do can change it. Saying nothing is real does not make it true. Proof you are real is that you ask such an important question.

    • Descartes. He said "Cogito ergo sum", Latin for 'I think, therefore I am". And he was killed as a blasphemer by the church. So much for 'God made you that way'.
