What is Real?

It's got to be because I'm still jet lagged because my mind doesn't usually work this way. However, this is what I came up with during the night.  It is a philosophical Question:

A Man who is homeless and hasn't eaten or drink any water for 2 to three days now is walking in the fields near Interstate 5 between Stockton and Santa Nella. In his delusional state he believes he sees Jesus in the lights of a truck but in his state he doesn't realize this is a semi truck moving at least 60 miles per hour. It is about 3 am at night and there is no one else on the road in either direction right then. The man walks toward Jesus and meet Jesus and is ecstatic to go to heaven with Jesus.

The Truck Driver is trying to stay awake and nodding off and trying to stay awake listening to rock and roll but thinking of his lady love far away and wishing he was with her. He hears a thump and wakes a little and sees something like a large bird or Crane flying over the right rail into a dry wash. He hoped the crane wasn't too injured and didn't die from flying into his truck and drives on.

The Man who is homeless's body lands in a dry wash and then it rains that night and water floats the man's body downstream several miles to the end of a dry pond and the body gets lodged in the mud at the edge of the pond.

A Man walking his dog 1 year later on a back road notices something that looks like a boney hand reaching up out of the dried mud and calls the police.

Here is the philosophical question:

Did a man die that night?
No. Because no one witnessed it.
Was there a hit and run.
No. Because no one witnessed it.
Were there skeletal remains found a year later by a man walking his dog and then by the police. Yes.
Because people witnessed this.
Did the homeless man go to Jesus and to heaven. Yes. Because that was his experience.
Did the Truck driver wonder the rest of his life about the Crane. Yes.

This is a variation of the philosophical question:

If a tree falls in a forest and no one witnessed it did it happen. The philosophical answer is: No.

And philosophical answers are the basis of all the sciences and how they tend to be presented to mankind.

Which begs the question: Should we change how we deal with reality. Maybe.
