Reality

This is a fascinating concept. Do we all share the same reality all of the time (consensual reality) and how do dreams fit in with our perceptions of reality? At the time that we dream they seem real enough to us and yet there is nobody else to validate our experience of that world. Also, what about other realities brought about by religious and drug induced experiences? Perception in itself is a strange enough phemonemon where different people can look at the same situation and yet see different things so how does this relate to our experiences of reality, whatever that is?
