If someone or something of consciousness does not know you exist, do you exist? Are we just holograms of each-others' belief? Interpret and debate.

I was walking the other day and my right leg and left arm felt hollow. In science this would be called a stroke, but to me it felt like fading away. It felt good, like I just want to escape the prison cell that is life.
