A common issue I see come up with discussions like this is: Is something real because it can be perceived, or is it perceived because it is real (sans hallucinations)? Can something exist if it is never perceived? Other than that, I never really cared for the idea that reality is an illusion (ie- the brains in a jar conjecture) because it doesn't really explain much of anything and it tends to create more questions.
