Well???
You don’t. We can’t know anything. The best we can do is guess with the limited information we have. My current best guess is there’s a bunch of mindfucking elves in a parallel universe we are unable to perceive that are having a right good laugh at their creation. How else can you explain Limerick hurling?
I’m almost certain I’m alive.
I believe that self-awareness and feelings (i.e. I am aware that I think you’re a cunt and have feelings of animosity towards you) are characteristics of the living. By departing the world of the living, we are mere non-entities; no consciousness, no self-awareness, just nothingness.
If the question was How do I know I’m not dreaming? My answer may have been altogether different.
Your incessant attention seeking proves you are alive.
Is there a book of condolences dedicated to you, in the possession of one of your family members? The fact that they never read it is irrelevant.
Is that the grand ‘your’ or is that aimed specifically at me? If so, can you list a number of instances in my life where I seek attention?
How do I know i’m not dreaming?
Find the book and I wll know?
Mr. Fitzy will reply to your query at 8.30am AEST.
Your patience is appreciated.
My take on that one would be that it’s impossible to dream within a dream. Contrary to drivel spouted by a 2010 Christopher Nolan snoozefest, it is impossible to dream within a dream. The instant you awaken from a dream is a good indication you are not dreaming.
Also, the phenomenon of déjà vu is not possible in a dream. The experience of déjà vu is a surefire sign you are not dreaming. Go read the last 300 posts in the Laochra Gael thread.

Prove we’re not in the matrix. You cant can you.
Are ya surrounded by virgins, who are all over you like white on rice? Should be more than one virgin? If not then your not dead.
We are all alive but are any of us living?
I used to be living. It was fun while it lasted.
Stick your balls in a vice and tighten. You’ll know then if you are dreaming.
