I'd love to ask some questions about this, but I'd have to dig out my old philosophy papers first. Also, if you're not already familiar, you should become so with the works Philip K. Dick. I would suggest "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and "A Scanner Darkly" to most eloquently (and entertainingly) capture Dick's wrestling with this same question. Fascinating!

Hindu mysticism calls it "Maya". Though I've read so much stuff about it, practising it is very difficult. Or atleast I fool myself to believe that it's difficult. I know I need to wake up, but somehow I've managed to keep the alarm on snooze, and chosen to dream some more. But I promise you Kenton, I'll get there. And I know you would say, I'm already there. :) We are running around in the web of illusion, the wheel of life. Hindu mysticism calls it “Maya”.
