What is Reality ? Reality is a figment of your imagination.
The neuron chemical impulses fired wen we are dreaming , fantasizing or hallucinating are indistinguishable from events we experience ... if what we perceive is often wrong , how can we know what is real and what isn't ?

"Everything simple is false. Everything which is complex is unusable."
