Dear Riot,
Being a Pirate, demon, demonologist, psychonaught and various other stuff i do understand your question.. did that help? Oh right you wanna answer..k..here goes:
Some would say Reality was just plain fact, you are born, you start to grow depending on the physics around you i.e. light, heat, gravity, water, food etc so from that distinction you could say that reality was a factual conciousness in which we all grow, by law of physics.
The trouble with that is on closer inspection you can work out that life as we know it is all learned behaviour, we are taught about pain, warmth, language, perception, we are taught a reality, little bit like how children are so much more open to psychic phenomena as oposed to adults who are told that certain things do not exist and are given plausible reasoning for this thus creating a different reality.
True if we did not ever interact with others then we would all have our own unique reality of things defined by our perception but when we are in a group or society we will all agree to meet at that baseline in order to communicate i.e. using language and understanding this will create another reality we can work with.
Most people have a public and private side so you could say 2 realities, the trick is to learn how to switch between those 2 conciousnesses. Conciousness IS the key to reality, some civilisations and groups will often attempt to induce a different form of conciousness in order to connect with a different reality for a common purpose.
My personal take on this is that we are like Computers but reality is our operating system, if we wish to communicate we kinda need to be on that same platform, if we wish to create our own unique outlook we learn how to switch to a new operating system as and when it suits us. Everything in this atmosphere is learned.
