Default Subjective reality ?

Hi there i just find this forum today and i read about the "Subjective reality",and I'm totally confuse .
sorry for my English.
my first question: the world totally taking place in my mind. is this mean that all the individuals i have interact with is some sort of bot?
second question: if i can change everything in this world, if i believe that "Subjective reality" is not true.will it makes this theory false?

good questions, can't really answer them except give thoughts
1) well you yourself are conscienceness in a bot I guess is one way to see it . Its hard to share conscienceness so you usually can't prove they do
2) I think you can change the universe, even with conscience others around you.

I think Subjective Reality Q&A 3 explains it better than anything else. You should give it a read if you have not already done so.

Probably dreaming is the best analogy. When you dream, you see through the point of view of the viewpoint character but all the people and surroundings you interact with are also occurring in your (sleeping) head. They're all part of the sleeping you, but they're not part of the viewpoint character.

So to address your questions:

They're all aspects of "sleeping you". No more real or unreal than the viewpoint character you choose to inhabit.

Nope, because it's "viewpoint character you", not "sleeping you" that disbelieves.
