The world is asleep, and I am awake. Is it so? Am I asleep while the whole world is awake? Are we sleeping together in a dream where we can be awake or not? Is it possible to be awake but live asleep?

They say you should not write questions in an essay that you do not fully answer or that you do not truly care could/would/should ever be answered. Yes, I know, but would you tell me what is real so I can get the hell on with it already?
