Fairy tale character exist, but only as ideas in our minds. They exist in the sense that they can be put into words and pictures, but the only way they exist in a physical sense is in the form of these words and pictures.
Does the individual only exist as an idea?
Can we say that in nature nothing is individual. We could probably say anything, because the act of speaking about an idea gives it a context, or a way that it exists. When we say 'the individual exists', we can talk about this by using previously installed ideas as a printer of existence, building the picture pixel by pixel. The mind is like a four dimensed balloon in a three dimensioned space. Mankind's geometric and physical rules so far are too basic to describe correctly the human experience as part of the physical world. The output of the most hi tech theorising that humans have come up with does not give a complete understanding of what thoughts are and how they are caused.
