In so far as they are being discussed, everything is just an idea. We experience perceptions, either using our own given senses only, or having our senses extended by instruments, conditioning or training, We then create ideas in our heads, either using instinctive programming, or through learned practice, to model them.
If we feel our mental idea models the overall milieu of perceptions accurately, we call it real. If we feel uncertain about our idea models, we call it just an idea.
