Would you live in VR?

Sure, no problem Thank you very much!

I would say that a person's imagination is "a reality". Everything in it "exists" as much as everything else in it.

My phenomological experience is another "reality". In fact, it's all I have. Everything in it "exists" as much as everything else in it.

The next logical group is some sort of non-user dependent reality, from which our phenomological experiences can be drawn. Things in that "reality" "exist" if they produce a consistent response in different people's experiences (when their brain is functioning correctly at least).

That's as far as I would go. Is this NUDR "really real"? Not only do I not know, I don't think it means anything. It appears to be a term that only has relative meaning. If it's potentially responsible for an experience in another reality, then it itself is "real" in some way. Whether or not this NUDR is "a dream" or "VR" makes no meaningful difference as far as I can see...

Ultimately, things are as real as they appear to any particular observer, that is my motto. What would it mean to say something exists independent of any point of view whatsoever? I don't know. Intuitively, I do know; but again, I have to first assume the NUDR is "real" in the first place.

I have pondered that consciousness is just the universe "experiencing itself".
