The problem with that statement is that you can't differentiate between:
(1) I see a train.
(2) I see a cartoon depicting Superman.
(3) I see an angel in my dream.
Your conclusion is that the train is real, Superman is real, and the angel is real.
At this point you might as well believe in anything -- gods, demons, fire-breathing dragons, leprechauns. You just have to "think" about .... (fill in the blanks), and since you see it in your mind, presto, it's real.
Platonism came about 2300 years ago. It has been debunked a long time ago. Get yourself an education, a real one.
