I would agree....The Matrix....lucid dreaming....hallucinations etc...The revision/modification of memories of events etc. All point to the ability of the brain and our senses to trick up. Still it's the only game in town, we must make the assumption that "most" of what we experience is real or at least is real to us, barring any external contradiction.
Reality is reality because multiple individuals agree on certain aspects of it. But there is also the possibility that those external individuals are nothing more than creations of our own deluded mind.
