What is reality?

Reality is the world as it truly is. It is the truth about what the world is, and what happens in it. Reality is what the world is like in this instant. Reality can be can be interpreted differently by different people because our minds can change it. For example, someone might be angry at you, but you might not catch it because your mind makes you perceive that they are joking. Drugs can also alter your mind and make you perceive reality incorrectly. Hallucinations are false projections that appear to your mind to be real, but they are not. Dreams are attempts made by your subconscious mind to replicate reality, usually inaccurately. You realize a dream is not reality only when you wake up, so your subconscious cannot determine what is reality and what is not. Humans cannot truly capture the entirety of reality because our minds are always meddling with it somehow.
