Anyway, if I am part of your imagination and you're a part of my imagination who is the main imaginer?
[color="#cc8899"]I was hoping nobody would start doing this argument, as it doesn't actually accomplish anything but change who is asking the question.
I'd have to say me, though, based on the argument I am trying to have disproved. And I am already quite insane, ty. I've thought like this for years, and still no way to prove my own existence (the main reason I ask this is because if people can't prove to me that they exist, I can't prove my own existence).[/COLOR]

Why? Well, assuming that these grounds are true, this means that you're saying your mom, dad, friends, family...are all figments of your imagination.
Now thinking about this more strongly...
What about the concept of learning? How do you learn from your own imagination?
[color="#cc8899"]Kids make imaginary friends to keep them happy/company/take blame for bad things, how would that be different (@ first bold)
@ second bold - I don't (in this scenario) - I make it up as I go along, or I already know the information, and my imagination tricks me into thinking I don't until I "learn" it. The whole notion relies on my imagination being beyond my own control.[/COLOR]
