i was about 8 or 9 when i decided that my body didnt really exist. basically i thought that me moving my hand, wasnt ME moving it. it was a huge computer or God or something, that told the hand to move and it did. Basically my body was like an idea that i thought i could tell what to do.For some reason i though that my brain which was the only REAL part of me, in reality was in a bucket in the desert.
