I made up this theory several years ago, and I shared it w/ Ben, who thinks it's actually possible, but I'd like to have other people's perspective.

So imagine there's only one actual conscious being, and they're like this, say, blob in the universe, and there's nothing else except the blob. Now let's say this blob is me, although it could be anyone. The blob thinks up it's life, like a story, and as it creates this story, it's projected like it's actual life. The blob's entire life is really just going on in it's "head" or wherever it thinks. It's "brain" makes it think it's seeing something, or touching something, or thinking something, but really, it's whole life isn't real. And all the other people in it's life are act like they can think, and they appear to walk, talk, etc, but they actually aren't there and they don't have thoughts or anything.

Okay, hand gestures and stuff really helped me explain this to Annalise... Well, she got it, so maybe I did an okay job explaining it on here. Anyway, there's more to it that I can't explain. Anyway, please comment opinions and any reason's why my theory isn't possible, 'cause I know it probably isn't, but I don't see why it can't actual be.

Wait- the blob is the only thing out there and who it imagines is who we think we are? It's like these imaginary friends i had when I was a little kid (dare not comment, Annalise!) who "had" friends of their own, so it's possible that there's an entire parallel dimension consisting of penguins and platipuses and penguinpuses? (Yes, my best imaginary friends were, in fact, a penguin and a platipus.) Scary!
