Default What is Reality?

"something that exists independently of ideas concerning it. "
This is a definition of "reality" from Dictionary.com. I tend to agree with it. Do you? Would you qualify it at all? Basically what do you think reality is? What is the difference between objective reality and subjective reality to you?

I am nor sure; "reality" is what I believe I see with my own eyes.

my ability to see things from a perspective which is different from my own frame of reference.....which sounds easy, but is not.

Is it irrational to believe in an objective reality?

This is part of why I brought this up. I think ideas exist in reality since we do, but does that make them "real" as things, or just "real" as concepts?

Reality is where data is organized and sorted by relating the data to forms stored in memory.

Reality is that annoying aspect of being alive that takes all the fun out of living in a fantasy.
