Whats up Robert.

Do you have any thoughts, or techniques, regarding how to differentiate between "real" entities you may encounter (dreamers, other projectors, spirits, astral wildlife, etc) and creations totally of your own mind/subconscious?

Some will behave like zombies, which could be other dreamers. Some will speak to you, though usually they seem rather unaware. And others I can control with my mind, causing them to do actions by will.

Any way to tell the difference and, in your opinion, on average how many of these people I find walking around are real compared to my mind's creations?
