That is, of course, the ultimate question. Classically formulated by Descartes and ansswered: I think, therefore I am.
That is as far as he could go.
Today, I believe that we each create our own reality as a manifestation of God within us. That is why, when we are in a fowl mood, we attract the same. When we feel blessed and happy, we attract happy people.
God works within us to fill our needs as we express them in our thoughts.

Imagination is a figment of reality.

Our Reality is
MAYA > ILLUSION
Maya literally means "that which is not." In the twilight, one may easily mistake a rope for a snake. In so doing, we feel fear. Hence fear and other emotions may often be based on illusion, an incorrect perception of reality.
Under the influence of the three gunas, the soul is (1) misled by matter, and (2) subsequently entangled and entrapped. This tendency is termed maya (illusion).
Under maya's influence, the atman, (the soul) mistakenly identifies with the body. He accepts such thoughts as "I am white and I am a man," or "This is my house, my country, and my religion." Thus the illusioned soul identifies with the temporary body and everything connected to it, such as race, gender, family, nation, bank balance, and sectarian religion. Under this sense of false-ego (false-identity) the soul aspires to control and enjoy matter. However, in so doing he continuously serves lust, greed, and anger. In frustration he often redoubles his efforts and, compounding mistake upon mistake, only falls deeper into illusion.

In Ireland ( and perhaps elsewhere) they say that reality is an illusion brought about by a shortage of alcohol [in the blood]
