The meaning of life is what you give it - in my opinion, there is not one meaning to life, but I find meaning in events which arouse strong emotions, and in those emotions themsleves.
You assume there has to be meaning.

Asking questions such as "why there has to be any meaning?" shows a lack of comprehension on the metaphysical properties of what makes people who they are. Without meaning, nothing exists, as without the mind giving meaning to objects in the space and time, there is nothing but a void. Everything in life is meaning, there are different kinds of meaning, some want to escape from the subtext of meaning by trying to act more than take in. Others take in more than act. You can't escape the gaze of meaning though, your entire perception filter is built upon it. Life is relativity in motion, with all things associating with each other to create relative context.

I don't think the meaning of my life is to be happy, it's at best just a reward. I think I'm finding that these days a lot more, but I don't think it ends there.
I would probably prefer that my interests, ideals and course of action would make me happy, but there are more important things to me outside of this reward. What they are, I don't really know, maybe when I'm dead or out of steam I will look back and grasp the meaning.
My reason for living is that there is still commerce I wish to do with this world. Or are you talking about my reason for doing anything? Because that has a different answer.
To find a passion to live.
No, I agree that reality exists, but not without you. Everything is in motion together. You can't separate the subject from the object. The world changes, you change right with it. The external world and internal world are mirrors of each other.
You can say that life is a dream, but you can't say that without concluding that you are a dream as well. If you say that reality is real, then you are real as well. There is nothing really outside of human awareness, we tag everything. We have an opinion of everything we come in contact with. Learning is a lot like pulling something from within, arranging the pieces in a new way to see something different. Everything is connected, all people are connected, not just connected.... in a way everyone is a part of the same thing, the same moment of creation.
People constantly ask why do we exist. Never do they ask the reciprocal of it, why not? If everything is one big infinite void, kind of like an infinite.... imagine a giant infinite pie. You take a knife and cut a slice of the pie. You end up with a piece of pie and a transfinite pie. That kind of symbolizes the self and the universe. The pieces were cut in a way that the pieces are always connected to each other, kind of like a puzzle piece. All things are a piece of the infinite, that is why we exist, and always have existed. Mankind always looks at the world for answers, unable to realize that he is already complete. Yet we feel fragmented, because we feel separated from what we observe.

The meaning of life is to stop asking what is the meaning of life?
To give me all your monies.
Hahaha Abbie you really had me going there ;P
The meaning of life can be found within life itself.
That sounds about right too. You can keep asking the question some more using different words, and finding new answers.
to crush your enemies, to see them driven before you and to hear the lamentation of the women.
hahahaha
trust yourself is the only thing.
To me its subjective, things appear which are meaningful to you, things that were meaningful no longer are, and things that used to be not meaningful become meaningful. The question "What is the meaning of life" attempts to give an objective answer to that process, why does this become meaningful, why does this loose meaning, and so forth. There is no objective answer to that, its as mysterious in my opinion as why there is anything at all, why stars formed the elements, and elements formed chemicals, and chemical formed lifeforms which have evolved. The way things take meaning and loose them is just an organic process of life, you go through periods of nihilism and periods of meaning with all sorts of things. The greater question is why do people need to know "What the meaning of life" is, in my opinion. I think it comes up when people loose spirit about something, when something that was meaningful ceases to become so, and emptiness is in its place. Then people ask "What is the meaning of life" in order to fill that space. The problem with that though is that people spend forever looking for some grand answer to that question and pass up their entire lives in the process, so it prevents them from actually finding that meaning in front of them. It's like the story about spanish conquistadors looking for the fountain of eternal youth and in the process passing up their lives, growing old, and dying.
