Sorry, but that does sound like a surreal 60s lyric, though it could
maybe do
with a bit of "poeticisation" to really work.
Laugh if you must, but if you were in a dreaming coma and never wake up,
your matter
would be as real to you as anything every could be to anyone. If you can
define
matter in terms other than what has been detected by our minds using our
body's
sense, and/or an instrument's sense, then you might have cause to doubt me,
but
nobody has any other definition available to them.
There is another definition and is in fact the one we use. Matter is the stuff we agree
about with other people as having certain properties of duration and location. Of course
if you're a solipist you're on you're own.

Well I did apologise. Anyway I agree with your reply - if you'd said that in the first
place, it wouldn't have sounded like gobbledegook.
