Perception is key, because it allows us to have eyes where in other circumstances, we wouldn't. Doesn't mean that what we perceive to be true, is truth. Just means that in the present tense, we perceive it to be so.
I would think reality would be real without us, the only thing it does is shape us and thus proves how real it is. We can distort it and not believe in what it holds as true but it, it self, does not deceive us. I will agree the self is an illusion but not reality. I can say i am not my self, all my thoughts, are but who i think i am because i am, but it is not actually me but a simple spontaneous manifestation that can say its me.
