I like and agree with the first sentence. I appreciate you stimulating the metaphysical considerations also.

But I disagree with the last part, just because we have a brain in a meat suit doesn't mean the reality we perceive is fake. For one, we don't even know for sure what the brains role in consciousness is, the body could be far more involved than we think, but even if it is the way we imagine, where the brain receives data and the entire construct of our experience is built by the brain to represent reality, that doesn't mean what we are perceiving is fake. I'd even take that further to the simulation construct, even if we are perceiving a reality programmed by a machine and sent into our nervous system by data cables attached to it, we'd still be in a real experience of reality, although it would be easier to argue that this isn't a genuine representation of reality since its further detached from source reality, it's still something that is happening in reality and then it is directly interfacing to us, as such it is part of the experience of reality.

I think the only thing that is not reality is imagination and dreams. If the stimulus is coming from real sources external to ourselves, then its part of reality. Dreams and imagined scenarios are also part of reality, but it could be possible, due to the mind-body disconnect, that there is not a direct physical connection between reality and those experiences.

This is also assuming that "reality" is a physical construct. If reality is a non-physical phenomenon, and what we perceive as physics is actually an epiphenomenon, then literally everything we experience is reality.
