Why Do We Ask 'What Is Reality?

Imagine you're in a dream. You think it's real, but when you wake up, everything changes. That's like asking 'what is reality?', it means wondering if the world we see is truly real or just part of something bigger. Sometimes people believe the world around them isn't what it seems, and that can make life interesting.
