OK some people seem to be talking about a ridiculous subjective reality, but i think this is down to language, confusion between "I" ego and consciousness. Let's make it simple. Subjective Reality model says "I am the only thinker in the world", obviously that's not provable in any way, i'll never know if other people think or exist.
Here's a question for believers in SR, that hopefully makes it more matter-of-fact. When I look at a friend, I see a picture of him through my eyes. When that friend looks at me, does he see a picture of me through his eyes? Or is my experience really the only experience in the world? if you say that he sees nothing when he looks at me, hes just a hollow projection in my dream, then i'll think ur crazy. in fact i dunno what i'll think, cos if u r real, then u wouldnt say to someone else "ur the only real one" - very confusing!
