Define "universe". The way I see it, evidence of anything at all is by definition part of at least one universe. Even if it's an imaginary universe of my dreams, it's still at least part of a universe - even if it's imaginary. So in that case, define "real".

And is it possible to dream or imagine something unreal without having a mind existent in reality first? After a regress of a dream of a dream of a dream of a dream and so on... doesn't in the end that dreamy regress have to be part of some existent and real mind? Thoughts?
