Let's try it this way:

You walk into your kitchen and see your refrigerator.

In your view, that experience, including seeing the refrigerator, is an illusion.

So here's the question: "How would we know, or why would we believe, that the refrigerator we see is an illusion?"

What is your answer to that?

Then again, who's dream is the refrigerator, yours or mine? I may not place or hold any belief, or even a judgement on what the refrigerator represents in my life. What I have, is a projected creation of a refrigerator that I have manifested into my life. The elements that comprise it are all part of this world\universe, as is everything within me and around me. It is no different to the tv on my cabinet, or the plants in the garden, or the rocks near the canal, or the water itself. Even the water can reflect what surrounds it.

It is a projected illusion of the power of the ego mind. I am not meaning in a negative sense here when I say ego. It is what the mind "only" thinks is physical or real. When the physical dies, none of it is relevant anymore, only the awakening and actions that were engaged in during this illusionary human life phase.
