Ergo: Even if all of you are figments of my imagination (which must be an absolutely fantastic imagination if I've imagined all this crap) it doesn't matter. I do not need to be sure the object exists, because everything I know tells me it exists.
I think, therefore something thinking is. This "something" might be me.
If, for example, someone dreams of a person who thinks that they are, then the only one existing is still the dreaming person.
Can you tell what someone else is thinking? Of course not. You only know what you are thinking. Ergo, the only person who must be real, is yourself.
