what is real, dream, illusion and delusion?

My definition for the word 'real' keeps fluctuating. I don't seem to get one that can capture whats in my mind.1.)Any vivid experience is an experience of a real thing.2.)Any consistent/persistent experience is an experience of a real thing3.)Any experience while fully aware is an experience of a real thing4.)Real is existent (having such properties as location) apart from our imagination, observation, knowledge and opinionsConsider 1, what if I wear too dark sunglasses such that the world is less vivid, does it makes it unreal? How about someone with impared eyesight, ears etc. Is the world ureal to him?Consider 2, this might be what scientists insinuate when they demand reproducable evidence. But can't something appear and disappear and yet be real? What if the clouds forms my mother up there and I see it, I can't reproduce it! Was it not real then? Can't a UFO comes and disapear? Alright, you can see it! The reproducability and consistence is about man and his experiments, not about say UFOs.Consider 3, while fully aware, you can't be fooled and only you alone can tell this. So you yourself can realy tell whats real. Supposing you close your eyes and see some images, of course they are real. The question is wether they might be DELUSIONAL.Consider 4, whats the point of entirely excluding US (our innermost beings) from reality?

Hey Roaring, i think that if you see the universe as a haven of infinite potentials, then every experience of reality is equally real.

You create your own reality! Whatever is real to you is right for you. Pray for discernment! This is a very special universal gift yet unfortunately very rare. Plus this takes time to master.
