there is a world of difference between what we know and what is real.

Could you explain the purported difference in terms other than "a world of difference"?

First we have to know what is real, and perhaps what it takes to be so. Second we have to know what we know, and what makes it so. Then, we can compare the two.

Up for it, or are you just asserting an unsupported opinion on the idea?

No? How so? I mean what makes something qualify as being "real"?

So In My Mind We Have The Pinch My Do I Exist/ I Think Therefore I Am Real.
And Perception Of Life, Is What I See What Other People See. And Coming From A Color Blind Person We All See Things Different..

Lies are not real. Nor illusions although they appear to be real.

Real is that which last forever, Eternal.
Unreal is the opposite, thing that are temporary. Dreams, World activity. "The Universe is Unreal, a firm conviction that this is so is called discrimination between the eternal and the Non-Eternal"

Words by Shankara

good luck.......

Pain seems real enough. The next time you whack your shin against something try to convince yourself the pain is not real.

There is an objective reality that is whether you believe in it or not. The irrationalists try to twist the natural world into their own social construct so they will use phrases like, "well, that's your opinion" when you are in fact stating an objective fact.
Of course they are those people who create for themselves a little illusion of the world in their head. They will have a complex ideology and a dogmatic belief in it to make it appear real.
They will scream and shout and be angry with anyone who threatens their view and they will resort to tactics like censorship and slander to silence those who speak an objective truth. Often large groups of such people will come together in a communal delusion.

This is a tough question. Mental pictures, like picturing a chair or table is not real. The people sitting around will see different interpretations in their heads. So that rules out a lot of pretend things that occupy time in the day. In order to figure out what is real in ones life, it helps to watch a day like a video and see what you do. If you spend lots of time on a subject, or worrying, or even on a work project, but it doesn't turn out to be worth the time, then it may not be real. I would say real would be what a group of people would agree on if they could see everything from every angle. But yet, that would assume things play out by a definite order. So less empirically founded, perhaps real is what happens, and what you make happen. It could be those things that do indeed turn out to affect reality in a solid way.

Good one haaha!

I don`t what "real" means, so can`t really answer that one. I see the world outside and stuff, but don`t really know what to make out of it all.
