An idea is an ideal or real?

The idea itelf is real (as in the thought that forms the idea is real) the potential for the idea to take a constructive form outside of the thought is the ideal.

Now there is a truly original thought!  How refreshing.  I will make that my question to ponder as I go to sleep tonight.\n\nThank you.

Ideas are from your heart. Which is developed and processed by brain and delivered again by brain and dreams. Most of the ideas got in dreams only. So dream about your future , problems and others your get ideas to solve them

I think that just for the fact that you asked if we THINK that we have one was pretty original in and of itself. I mean, it kind of conotates that even though we THINK we might have an original thought we might not have because how do we really even know for sure. Well done, that was probably the most original thought anyone had ever thought of that I've read. Well done.

Should and could are nice words that express the desire that everything be fair in life.  Life is not fair.  It is the hard lesson that eventually each of us has to learn, and then move on.  If you have an idea, and it was stolen, then learn from the mistakes, and don't fall into the same situation again.  Protect your idea so it cannot happen to you again that someone steals your own idea.

The nice thing is that Utopia is different for each person and therefor each person has the chance for their own Utopia to exist. That said, in the world which we live in today I can't say if a "perfect world" can exist anymore or ever really has. But every individual person has the ability to look into their heart and mind and then create their own "perfect world" however they want to.

Well you have to think about it yourself. You can get ideas from the book, "How Things Work", which will help you with parts of an invention, but the actual thing is on you.

Artificial systems are good!  Or rather, neutral.  What makes them good or bad is their content.  Fight for freedom, but do it through the channels of these systems, unless they don't exist.  Without them, there is chaos, right?  Live your life as free as you can, but understand why the stuff is there.

in what context do you need these analogies?\nlike poetic or exact descriptions?

Yes and yes.\n\nThe difference between imagination and reality is our perception.  If you hone your perception and cultivate awareness then you will learn the difference.

I suppose a person would have to "envision" an concept to make it a reality.  And if one can put a mental image in their brain, that can give impetus for the concept to actually come to fruitation.  \n\nDreaming is a good thing.  We need dreams, and goals in life.\nBut we also need a game plan so to speak on how to obtain our dream or goal.

It would be very hard to prove that it's your idea.  You could mail yourself your written idea and keep it sealed.  That would have a postmark on it at least.

the way i see it, anything you feel is just as real as anything else. i'm just not sure if everything is either real, or artificial. but, assuming that ANYTHING is "real", then even a person hallucinating something that noone else sees is having a "real" feeling. anyone who believes "i think, therefore i am" should agree with me.

Absolutely,  You just have to be able to realistically imagine / present the concept.\n\nIt's called 'fiction'; I'm sure you can do it.

I think it would be ideas thought up by an entrepreneur...someone who is a self starter.

A feasibility study is exactly what it sounds like.\n\nLet's say you have a great idea for a business.  It sounds great, but without some type of research into the feasibity of your idea in real life, you'll never know if your "good idea" will ever be a "good business."\n\nA feasibility study will tell you, among other things, if you have sufficient capital to fund your business idea.
