This here world is self-consistent. I can relate to other beings that are like me and get confirmation for my experiences. In the other world you propose, I more or less have to become a Solipsist. The world that I inhabit when I'm not high therefore has several special properties of consistency that justify naming it "reality" that the others you propose do not have. In other words, I demand certain properties from a reality without which it simply isn't interesting as a serious candidate.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
