Maybe I’m just small brained but I’ve never understood this phrase

It might be better phrased, “I think, therefore I *exist*.”
You cannot prove that the world around you is not a dream or a simulation. Even your body could be an illusion. There’s no reason to think the world around you isn’t real but… you can’t prove that it’s not.
The only thing you can know with certainty is real is your own mind. The fact that you can have thoughts and are conscious means that *you* are definitely real. Even if your real body is plugged into a Matrix pod somewhere and everything else you’ve ever known is a simulation, your mind and your thoughts are still real.
You think, therefore you exist.
