I've often wondered how other people deal with the questions of existence. What is real, after all? The only thing I feel certain of is that I exist in some form. "I think, therefore I am." I have no absolute certainty of anything else beyond that; I have to accept everything else with varying degrees of faith.
I came to understand that years ago. It was agonizing at first, but I've come to terms with it. I learned that if I align myself with things that are probably true, I can be happy. Certainty is simply not required anymore.
It seems to me that people who don't understand this principle (that almost nothing is certain) would be more prone to dissociative effects. As for myself, I find it hard to imagine VR would have any effect on my state of mind since I'm not convinced reality isn't VR anyway. :-)
