Is everything just a dream?

If you could show that all information present within the universe requires a certain amount of storage capacity it'd be possible to show this wasn't a human dream, by demonstrating the human brain is incapable of storing that much data. Then the question begs, if this is a dream, what is having it? God? Nth dimensional beings? A computer?

Everything seems like a dream because there's no true definition for "reality". As Descartes said, you can doubt everything in the whole universe, except yourself, the doubter. Thus, how can we truly know if everything is in doubt or not? How can you truly know that is you cannot verify if you, the doubter, exist or not? Hence, it seems that you cannot doubt anything.

Man has achieved phenominal success in extending his poor brain's limited storage capacity to non-ending limits to super computers. I would say it is a dream that has come true.

I wonder about that sometimes and I would want to know that someday before it is too late for me. And if this is really a dream then I would want to wake up before it is all over.
