As far as thoughts being real, thoughts are what make us real. They are the one thing that make us certain of or existence "I think therefore I am". Thoughts are real, however, they are ephemerous. They also evolve, they are filtered by your own brain without your awareness of it, and you can't be sure of what exactly lies in your own head(ever wonder about those weird dreams you can't understand?). What we do know is that they're real, even if sometimes (as disturbing as it is) we can't explain our own opinions or their origins.
About the dead sea scrolls. They have existed; parchments have been found, and carbon dated. However, they are decrepit and old, and their state has changed.
But awareness of the existence of something, and knowledge of something are two very different things...You know that you exist, but can you really know your own self? here again, problems of different perspectives take place.
