What if nothing exists and we're all in somebody's dream?

What if nothing exists and we're all in somebody's dream?

What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.

For years I played the what-if game. Maybe you're acquainted with this pastime. The rules are simple:

Rule #1: You're only allowed to think of worst-case scenarios.

Rule #2: You're never allowed to win this game. You can only lose.

Rule #3: The more you play, the greater your losses.

You'll never get anywhere if you go about what-iffing like that.

You see, the what ifs are as boundless as the stars.
