How do we know reality?

How? Reality could just be use tripping, but being able to control it. Not in the sense were you see hallucenations but its just another state that isnt the real state. When you dream you use DMT the stuff that makes you trip in your sleep, (otherwise you'd go insane) so at night maybe that is the REAL reality. and this 'waking up' is just another term for leaving that reality to come to this one.

Yup, if you wanna split them  A dream is a dream to this reality and when we lucid dream, we're aware that we're dreaming and we're also aware of the "real" reality

Thanks for the quick reply
Im against lucid dreaming, i lost touch with what was real and what wasn't after a while practicing how to perfect it.

When awake our thoughts are not as powerful as our actions.
When asleep it's all about your thoughts.

a) it is only theory that dmt is produced during rem sleep and causes dreams, not fact
b) where do you get the idea that without 'tripping in your sleep' one would go insane?
and even if at night is the 'real reality' how can you say where we currently are now isn't also a 'real reality'?

I think therefore I am. So I'm real. Concerning the outside world, we can only asymptotically approach certainty based on continued verification that rules and order exist and continue to exist but can never be reach absolute certain.
