Like G2 says, everyone's experiences are different... and each person's experiences vary from time to time and even within the course of a single journey.
It seems to me that there are a myriad of possible experiences, each with their own degree of "reality quotient." tm
[hehhehe]
The fascinating thing for me is that our waking life, consesual reality is not the most real of all possible experiences... it doesn't even make the top 10 for me. Most of my heavy lucid dreams are not only more vivid and amazing (as with spice), but also 'feel' more real and satisfy even more of the criteria of reality than this world does.
I would say that
none of the things we experience are
real in the way people imagine reality to be. The ultimate true reality, if such a place exists would be a hyper causal realm that emenates the other realities. The throne of G*d so to speak.

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." ~ Buddha
