Reality = real. Your question is tautological.
To those who will say "perception is reality": You're dead wrong. Perception is perception. Yes, you will behave in the world as though your perceptions are "real"--that is what perception MEANS. For example, if you think I am a thief, you will treat me like one. However, your perception has no bearing on the reality of whether or not I am in fact a thief (I'm not, incidentally).
Reality is real. Period. Because that is what reality means. Whether there is more to reality than we perceive or realize, or if we are wrong about certain things (thinking the world is flat is a good example), is another matter. I think there is much more we don't yet know, or can know--but that doesn't change the nature of reality itself.

perception is truth but truth is not reality.
Truth is an idea perceived by man. The idea of fact but not the fact.
Reality, that tangible fact is constantly in flux, evolving with the expanding universe.
An example might be the immunity we develop to antibiotics with overuse.
So, therefore, a real reality only exists momentarily and then it is gone replaced by a new reality.
The idea of fact must be continually updated to coincide with the evolutionary changes, replications and mutations.
Some are imagined realities and some are manufactured realities.
False eyelashes for example are real and tangible but they are still only representations of a dream, an idea of a fact..

Perception is reality. If you perceive it to be real or true, then it is your reality.
To Dan:
You're saying your reality is the same as everyone elses reality. Not true. For example: Let's say one of us is color blind....I see green, you see red. Who is right? My perception is reality to me and your perception is reality to you. You can't say I don't see green. Or if I say the smell of baking cookies makes me ill, while you love it. Again, each is reality for the individual. Perception IS reality to each individual. There may be a communal perception that certain things are true and real, but that does not mean it is a reality to everyone.

The alternate reality. It is the one true reality, however, no one wants to accept or live it.

I believe it is the one you are in, this is it! If you want to live in the future and believe that there is another reality for you, you may be considered unstable! This is it! do the best you can with it.

The question can not be answered by a human being. reality is perceived through our senses- which are fallible .

The reality you make for yourself. We manifest our own destiny's by using free will.
