Is perception not reality?

That depends on your definition of "reality."

If you are lost in a desert on the brink of death from thirst, and you see a mirage oasis a short distance away, do you experience the same biochemical reaction to seeing actual water? Yes. Does your outlook on life immediately change in the same way as seeing actual water? Yes. Do you have sudden increase in energy as you run toward "salvation?" Yes. Is your experience in the moment indistinguishable from seeing actual water? Yes.

When you run over there, can you drink it? No. Are you still going to die? Yep.
