I've read your ideas on subjective reality, but in the end I've got to say that even if it is true that everything in my reality is a product of my own consciousness, it would be more accurate to say that the vast majority of it is the product of my unconscious mind. And if I can't consciously change it (ex. like I can't change the law of gravity, for instance), then how is that effectively any different than objective reality?

Slightly off topic now, I know. It just seemed relevant to show where I'm coming from, because to me, that answer Steve was something of a cop out.
Are the characters in your dreams real, or did you create them somehow?

Your conscious mind makes decisions. Your subconscious manages the details.
