Very interesting discussion guys. My 2 cents..

I think a lot of the disagreements boil down to how you classify reality. By what criteria do you say if something really exists or not? How can you say that your experience of reality is more 'real' than the reality experienced by someone 'halluncinting'? How can you say whether or not a dream is an 'illusion'. What tests must an experience pass if it is to be given the status of absolute reality? Until you determine that you can't say for sure what is real and what is not, whose version of the afterlife is real or not.
