And if we're assuming that whatever perceived reality this is will be the subject of discussion, it may only be a dream world.whether you call it a dream world or not is semantics. the point is since hypothetically all the senses give us the same sensations in an idealistic world as in a material world, both worlds can be described as a 'real world' (still speaking hypothetically). both worlds have the same material consequences, the only difference is the prospect of afterlife in an idealist world and absolute death of self in a materialist world.
Also, what happens in the dream can affect the physical body of the person having the dream as well.
We need to figure out whose dream this is and wake them up!
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
