Is it normal to say that i feel like life is just an illusion?

Sometimes I get these moments where I just feel like life isn't real and that's it's all a made up thing from a bigger being. You may think I may be talking about aliens or God, but I don't know it just feels like someone/thing made up this life and really life is just a simulator and that we're all sleeping and when we die, we wake up. I'll even get these moments when I'm walking and I'll zone out and everything will just seem so unreal, it's so hard to explain but I have a few friends who experience this as well. Maybe I'm just crazy, maybe I'm suffering from an illness but sometimes I feel like this world doesn't even exist....

    My life, wife (42 years my junior) and boat are but a figment of my imagination.
    Everything I think, do and say is all creations of my out of control id.

    Also. I'm a real ballsack (see my profile pic)

    Sounds like depersonalization. It's a kind of anxiety issue, there are ways to deal with it.

    I sometimes have a similar thoughts. It's like I'm dreaming my life, and occasionally it feels like a stupid joke.

    depersonalization:
    a state in which one's thoughts and feelings seem unreal or not to belong to oneself, or in which one loses all sense of identity.
    In psychiatry, it is considered a dissociative disorder.

    People think this all the time. The other day, I heard a girl ask her mom in the store "Am I dreaming right now?" Hell, even old Descartes had his issues.

      I see you like to prey on the weak. What's the matter with you?

          He's clearly confused. Don't put thoughts in his head

            Oh for Pete's sake! If anyone take me seriously, they, & I, belong in a mental institution, without a doubt.
