Our subconcious minds deal in symbols. Many mythological figures exist there. Since this phenomena exist there, can we say gods and unicorns don't exist?

This is a play on the semantics of "exist". The map is not the territory. We can have a map of gods and unicorns without there being a "territory" of gods and unicorns. Every child who has ever drawn a fantasy map of a non existent island has proved this point.

What's your criteria for existence? Does something need to be a physical entity in order to exist?

I've contemplated something like this before. I thought that perhaps we exist only in the imaginations of a higher being, and are within the small seconds it is taking her to think this thought. Perhaps what we imagine truly exists...
