[reality]

Ok, apparently today I'm not sure if _I_ am real. Which is different, since usually it's other people whose reality I doubt.

(It's odd. My initial comment was meant in a silly manner. Then, when I saw the replies, I realized that it wasn't totally just me being silly. Weird thing to notice!)

If you are not sure if you are real, then this movie (http://www.whatthebleep.com/nav_html/aboutthefilm_synopsis.php) will offer you some interesting alternatives.

Ooo! Neat!

I'm sure I'll go back to believing I'm real by or before tomorrow (since it tends to be uncomfortable to think otherwise, and makes it _very_ difficult to get anything done), but that movie looks fascinating anyway. :)

I've seen a good review of that movie somewheres on LJ. *forgetful*

Have you read Chalker's Wonderland series?

I don't think so? What are the books themselves called?

The Cybernetic Walrus, The March Hare Network and The Hot-Wired Dodo. The trilogy is officially The Wonderland Gambit.

He says in the author's note(s) that his intent in the books is to make you question the reality of pretty much everything.

I've got the whole trilogy in one book somewheres.

Neat. I shall have to add that to my reading eventually list. :)

"Waking Life" was a pretty interesting movie along similar lines.

And I sure hope you're real!!! It's going to be very annoying to come all that way to see you and find you were imaginary!!!

*chuckle* Well, I feel (mostly) real again, so I think you're safe. ;)
