The world might be an illusion because what we think of as "reality" is shaped by things we don't fully understand. Most people believe they are in control of their thoughts, but in reality, thoughts often pop into our minds without us deciding them, driven by instincts and survival needs. Our actions, too, are often just ways to survive and fit into society, even if we tell ourselves they have deeper meaning. Consciousness makes this idea even more mysterious—it’s the part of us that feels aware, but no one can explain exactly where it comes from. Scientists can study the brain, but nothing in it fully explains why we feel alive and aware. Some believe consciousness might not even come from the brain, but from something beyond the physical world. If that’s true, then everything we see and experience might just be a projection or dream, not the real thing.
