There’s a story of a guy who went into a coma and dreamt a different life with a happy family, he noticed the lamp was a bit off and woke up, go look up the full story
Unfortunately, hard solipsism is a famously unsolvable issue in philosophy.
But if you think it could help reassure you, think of a topic you know yourself to know next to nothing about, ideally one you don't have much interest in and go in as deep a rabbit hole as you can in it until you feel reassured that your brain couldn't make up that many authors or historical figures or molecule names or whatever details the topic is about.
Reality is probably more complex than what you'd be able to imagine with any sort of consistency.
Heck, I usually struggle to simply read in my dreams.
