That idea is very close to nihlsim. It is possible that nothing exists except your consciousness and we and all that you see are a product of your imagination

That is more than I meant to say, although people (such as Emerson) believed it.

I don't say that there isn't a material universe, only that the meaning is strictly a product of our consciousness, and that meaning, is a meaning within consciousness, and is a universe within itself. We all know that if we had different sense organs in different degrees, reality would be different. Seeing in 360% would be neat. Thinking the world was strictly vibrations in thousands of gradients, or sonic interpretation, or radar, or magnetism--all would be neat. What would consciousness do with those sense organs? What kind of a universe would it create??
