Language is real and communication is real. The boards themselves are electrical signals 'bouncing' around inside circuits, just like during a phone call.

No.

No, because language isn't real and communication isn't real. The boards themselves are not electrical signals 'bouncing' around inside circuits, just like during a phone call, which isn't real, either.

It's all a dream.

Wrong, language and communication are real even if you're alone in the Matrix and everyone you ever met were computer-illusions. Meaning is real because patterns are real.

Actually it is real. You are communicating with me, you can deny it all you want but you are. In fact, you denying it to me proves you wrong. Imagine that.
