    If you are dreaming your are dreaming: There is a dream and a you. This would be the frame, the reality. Tell me something about a frame without reality. What are you able to say about such a frame?

    Every reality frame appears real to those within it. But it's not a flawed analogy to compare it to a dream.

    Why is a reality frame not a reality?

    Because it's just a construct.

    It is reality, but it isn't real. Think of it like a giant game of the Sims, but instead of watching the game on a screen and controlling our characters with a mouse, we're "inside" the game and have forgotten that it is a game. But nothing that appears physical is. It merely appears that way.

    So a reality is existing and we are able to have different point of views on this reality.

    Schiller said "life is a game" - that's nothing new for me. In a famous song ("old lang syne" - german text) the most people are singing instead of "live is a game" "life is not a game" - I'm always very amused if I hear this. They don't understand the genius of the unicorn.

    Where appears something? What is it that "appears"?

    Nowhere. It's just data presented to our consciousness that we interpret as "reality".

    In the most easy form a single datum is a place where nothing or something can be (and this changes). We are usign space, time, energy and time for this communication. And you are speaking about much more complex presentations of the reality: "data" "we" "presentation" "consicousness" and so on ... And you are also speaking with a part of the reality "die Du nicht verstehen kannst wenn sie deutsch spricht" (="you are not able to understand íf it speaks german"). I am independent from your thoughts, I'm not your ideas and I know I am existing. So I don't would say your concept has any stability because you are not able to use it - to realize it. We are not the creator of this world - we are not god - we are only part of this world. Give me anything what shows what someone is able do with your concept except to search for communication and to find out what we can say and what we cannot say.

    Let me ask you a civil question: What in your lifetime have you actually 'realized'?

    OK! Then let me redirect this question to the rest of the readers:

    "Let me ask you a civil question: What in your lifetime have you actually 'realized'?"
