What a stunningly creative idea. I've actually done this before... we all have. What you describing isn't a simulation (in the classical sense)... its a dream.
A dream is a simulated universe inside of our head. We can talk with people and the people that we are talking to don't realize that they are just simulations inside of the dreamers mind. In fact, if you don't believe me, try telling someone in your dream that they aren't real. They wont beleive you. Imagine their reaction if they relised that their existance would cease to be the moment you woke up. Even that the form of yourself that they are interaction with is also just a simulation. It stands to reason that we could be a simulation in someone else's dream. Maybe a computer's 'dream'. Sure. Its possible. And since dreams don't have to start at the beginning of the universe, but a beginning is always implied - the beginning of the simulation may not have even started yet. The actual start of the universe may be trillions of years from now. After all, you never start a dream at the beginning of time. But the beginning of time still exisists.

When I used to lucid dream asking people if they were real in my head was one of my triggers to jolt me to lucidity, if they answered back. It was often a variation of morpheus', how do you define real, speach. but many and more times it was something unexpected and random nonsense but you make a good point but that sort of thinking leads nowhere good, lol.

Are you saying those "dreams" you dream are just as real us, if we re dreamt by another?
That stuff would freak me out, if I believed it, luckily I dont.
