All reality can be subjective. Like this post. Your brain is telling you you're reading it, but how much do you trust your brain?

For someone, little hairy-footed people and Barrow-Wights ( [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) can be as real as the lager I am currently consuming. It's their right to think and feel this way. Errors in factual knowledge, however, must stand corrected: the similarities between the history of Tolkien's world and the myths and stories of our world was largely intentional, and is not, I believe, a mysterious signifier of the book's relation to (subjective or objective or whatever the %$#@) reality.
