The whole of how we experience reality is made up by our mind. Decisions and actions are sort of precognitions - rather than being reactions to stimuli, they’re actions with expected results, adjusted very fast after we get feedback. Probably sharing some wiring, most of us agree on the same stuff. But there are outliers. If the mind can create reality and all the worlds we can imagine awake, then certainly in an altered state it can create other experiences. What’s real? Anything or nothing, maybe everything in between.

I think I read something like this in a Schopenhauer book on Free Will: if you admit of a precognition (or subconscious) can't you, by the same reasoning, say that the subconscious has a sub-subconscious, etc?
