I agree with Paul's theory, except with one modification -- the "you" that you think you are, is equally a figment of your imagination as all the other people. Whoever you think you are, and whatever you think you're doing and experiencing and thinking, is just an imagination of what your (and our) true Self/Consciousness is dreaming up for your particular imaginary ego.
If you add that part in, then it all fits wonderfully. But if you don't, it's a slippery slope towards solipsism IMO.
