Well, I'm saying that it's real in the sense that whatever reality I find myself in, physical or non physical, everything is quite solid.
I know the everything around me here is physically "solid", yet I also know it's solidity is an illusion. My physical perception drives that illusion. Non-physical experiences can be the same.
What your describing is your perception of reality. So what you perceive, correct or not, becomes your reality. Change your perception, and it's not that reality anymore, it's changed into a different reality. So then you have to ask where it stops at. Is there a point where perception is pure without influencing your perceived reality? And if perception defines our reality, wouldn't perception itself be the reality, not what's being perceived?
