What arguments might you use to prove me otherwise?

I'm not saying I actually believe this to be true, I'm just curious as to how people might try to confront such an idea. :P

I'm not sure how you can be a figment of your own imagination, but you could possibly be a figment of someone else's imagination.

If you are a figment of your own imagination, you hint that you, as an individual, are imagining yourself, which can't be possible, as you need to exist to imagine. And you obvioiusly aren't two persons. So unless you're a schizo.. :P

It sure would. A man once said "You're born, and then you die". He wasn't a wise man, but the quote is appropriate for this situation.:P

You have a heart beat, a working brain and blood flowing through your veins. All of those can be verified by a trip to a doctor's office. They are characteristics of an alive person.

No, becouse your imagination would prouduce you being rich, good looking, have abs, a blonde wife, sports cars, big boats, freinds, tons of alchohol, lots of freinds to party with.

So your stuck in reality like the rest of us =P

You could be a figment of MY imagination, but not a figment of your own imagination. Premise 1: A figment of an imagination require an imagination to imagine it Premise 2: An imagination is, and must necessarily be, generated by a real being. Premise 3: A figment of imagination does not exist in reality. So if there exists a figment of an imagination, there must also be an imagination to create it. By premise 2 that imagination requires a person to generate the imagination. So if there is a figment of imagination then there must also exist a person If you were but a figment of our own imagination, then you would be generated by an imagination, and that imagination would be generated by you. But this is a paradox because of premise 3. Since you do not exist in reality you could not have an imagination to generate yourself as a figment in. Therefore, it must be false that you are a figment of your own imagination. QED Interestingly enough however, this reasoning does allow for you to be a figment in the imagination of another.

Saying that is like giving yourself credit for coming up with every single little thing in existence in this world along with all its complexities. And if YOU are a figment of YOUR imagination, how does your imagination exist?

If you are, then what am I? Perhaps you are a figment of OT's imagination! What if we all are!
