Floating like a dream

How can I prove that the "reality" I'm currently experiencing is not a "dream"? In other words, how can I prove that the people and things around me are not just a fiction of my consciousness, but some kind of objective existence independent of my consciousness? After thinking about it, it seems that only the method of this movie can "falsify" (prove that life turns out to be a dream), but it can't "prove" (prove that life is an objective process), and this "falsification" "The method is "death", if death brings you the end of a dream, you can open your eyes and realize "it turned out to be just a dream", if death brings you the real end of life , is endless darkness, then you will not be aware of anything, and you will not be able to prove anything. Thinking about it suddenly felt a little scary, only death can prove the nothingness of life? Then if I change the proposition to "My life is a dream", then I can never prove it wrong. Can something that can never be proved wrong be regarded as right? If life is a dream, are we not too lonely? Just like the hero in a movie facing an empty city; if life is just a dream, then what we love and what we think are not too empty? Just like the hero in the movie finally left his woman and friends and jumped from a tall building; if life is a dream, how do we deal with it? If life is a dream, then what I am thinking and writing is not absurd?
If life is a dream, I seem to be able to understand the absolute spirit of Hegel, the reincarnation of Buddhism, and all religious beliefs, because if life is a dream, if all your knowledge about the objective world, you The moral law in the heart is derived from the self-realization of that absolute spirit. If there is something else after death, you will still pursue fame and fortune, and you will live like an animal with the drive of instinct. ? In that case, apart from the comprehension of the absolute spirit, in addition to the practice of Buddha, in addition to the belief in God, those fame and fortune, those temporary physical pleasures, those hatreds, etc., etc., is it important?
Thinking of this, I feel that I am a little obsessed. Alejandro Amenábar's films seem to have such magic power. He can express the theme of art films in the form of commercial films. I think this ability to explain the simple things is the highest level of a director.
