Do you ever feel that middle-earth really exists? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

In my mind, reality is defined by belief. If you believe that Middle Earth existed and that these stories are true, then they are subsequently a "reality". I believe that Tolkien in his heart believed all of his stories and intimately knew all his characters. It is my opinion that somewhere, in some state of existence, these stories really occurred.
