As for "realistically provide an alternative", the problem here is that what is a "realistic alternative" is not something that you or anyone else is really capable of judging due to a similar argument as I am using regarding the "time is a function of perception issue". Why? Well lets single out the Virtual Reality version and try your reasoning on it. Is that realistic? You might say "No thats not realistic, because noone knows how to interact with the mind that way etc". But then oh yeah... Thats in the world we are experiencing now... In fact ALL of your reasoning and intuition is based on the world you are experiencing now. Therefore it is impossible for you to determine if any alternative explanation is "realistic" or not. How can you tell what is "realistic" if you don't know what is "real"?

I admit reasoning is relative to context, again. So what? To what purpose is the assumption recognition? Where does it alter any interpretations of anything? In my view it would not only limit my interactions with other people objects and food as imaginative, but would beg the question: what other reality is there that produces my consciousness? Without answering that question, speculation of such extra-realism is pointless.
