No, not always.
I'm sitting in an internet cafe, writing this answer... that is reality, not a state of mind. How my mind interprets this current state of affairs doesn't mean that I'm not sitting here. Of course, I might be drugged with some superior hallucinegic and I'm actually at home, sleeping in my bed and I'm not writing this at all. This is ilrelevant - the point is that I'm somewhere, doing something, that is reality. I'm gonna assume that I'm at a computer, the alternative is quite unlikely.
There is such a thing as "perceived reality" where the individual's state of mind is taken into account. Schizophrenics have a warped sense of reality. Just because you believe that the FBI are coming after you doesn't necessarily make it true. Of course, even for us, non schizophrenics, it can be argued, quite easily in some cases, that it is impossible to know how the world actually presents itself.
If you accept the view that reality is a state of mind then you have to argue that everything people believe is real.

No, not at all. Reality posses basis and can be proved through reasoning, logic and experiences but state of mind is some thing what people perceive through sences and transmit via nerve cells in the form of electrical signals to the brain to develop perticular state of mind.These electrical signals can be manipulated but reality can not.

To a degree yes. We all share a basic reality yet, on certain levels, what is real for one does not exsist for another. If one were suddenly placed in another's social or work setting it could seem sureal.

We know that the world we live in is what we see, hear, and feel.
Or rather what our eyes see, ears hear, and skin feels.
Take, for example a color blind person, he has a few colors less to see, but thats reality for him.
We dont know the true nature of matter.
