Seeing Someone Else's Reality

Ever wonder if we are really just floating imaginations/intelligences that create for ourselves bodies and images? And that possibly the other imaginations and intelligences “see” (imagine) us in a different manner than we imagine ourself?
And that those that insult us are actually insulting something else, but we “hear” (imagine) that they are saying something we are actually insecure about?
Like, to someone else, the word “eye” may mean “ear” or “foot.” But it’s all really the same word.
And perhaps I see purple, and say purple, but someone else sees green and says purple, because green is purple to them? How would we know if this was happening?
That’s why I’d like to see the world through someone else’s eyes…
