I’m not trying to get uber-philosophical, but what is real? How do you judge what you term to be “reality” as being real? Is the position that “perception is reality” a correct one? Is the physical life we lead real, or is there a mental existence that is the real life?

For example, most of my dreams are very real to me, as real as my daily existence. What if the dreams are my “real life” and my supposed “real life” is the dream?

How do you judge what is real?
