How can I prove that my experience is not just a very vivid dream?

NAS73180

Since the age of fifteen I have had the bothersome obsession that my mind is all that exists and that everything is just me experiencing it in my imagination. 
Weirdly you will always have instant proof that this is delusional because you sense your own reality as the most intense one.

  • you cant really prove if your dreaming or not, because dreams can feel hyper real and in a dream you can often question whether your awake or not and think in that dream... yeah this feels real, i am awake...  even if its so unreal your mind still thinks its real, even when familiar things are warped and you should know its not real due to how different and warped it is your mind and being still says it is real and you think your awake... so whos to say, perhaps we are just in another layer of dream right now and are not yet awake.... perhaps when we die we wake up? or we just transition to yet another layer of a dream. perhaps all of existance is just a singular massive unending multilayered dream in multiple other dreams. in that case dream is reality and we can never wake up only go to another dream.
