   Yes, that is remarkably accurate, but is not the same as to say that the   
   "real world" is like the matrix.   
   It would be more accurate, if we must use the matrix analogy, to say that   
   our perceived selves live in the matrix of the mind, and that we never   
   actually see the real world as it really is.

   Principally, yes, though a quantum singularity really can't be described as   
   a very small dense ball.

   Now that is a matter of faith.

   More faith.

   Of course. It is your mind at work both when awake and asleep.   
   The real question would be: If you had been born blind, would you have   
   visual dreams?

   Well... I don't know about that. I am a rather logical person, but I am   
   fully capable of having nonsensical dreams :-)

   It's a matter of faith, because we are unable to prove it, and most likely   
   always will be. However, I am familiar with the Buddhist (originally Vedic)   
   concept of the world being illusory in nature. How the universe is the   
   breath of Brahma - created when he exhales, and destroyed when he inhales.   
   I think it is very interesting that such an idea could be conceived   
   thousands of years ago, and actually resemble the big bang/big crunch theory   
   so much.   
   And the world is illusory. The world we experience is filtered through our   
   senses and the interpretation of our minds, and is therefore not   
   representative of how it really is. We see solid objects, rather than   
   agglomerations of particles, and we never see the empty space between the   
   atoms and within them. Not only that, but the way I see a certain thing will   
   differ subtly from how somebody else sees the exact same thing.

   Ah, hello! :-)   
   Surely, then, you must agree that your device will only work if God dreams   
   that it can?   
   Are you sure God does?
