Why is it so hard for us to question Reality?

During a dream I have no idea that I am dreaming.
In fact, a nightmare terrifies me and I experience fear and suffering.
If I knew it was a dream, I could smile and wait quietly to wake up.
But I don't know that it is a dream.
When I am having a coffee and my mind is distracted by focusing on some problem, it causes me stress, anxiety, worry....
But I'm having a coffee sitting in bed.
Why do those thoughts have the power to affect me at that moment?
Or when I remember something traumatic from the past.
My present is filled with pain.
Why is that?
I should know that these are thoughts.
Just thoughts.
Basically, this is due to a basic principle that governs the Universe.
And it is this:
Perception generates Reality.
Therefore, whatever I perceive, will be the Reality that I will experience.
And, moreover, we are not able to differentiate what is Real from what is not.
Because our Mind immerses itself in the experience without questioning it.
So when we dream, we simply interact with the scenario and the story we perceive.
And it captures us.
We are the protagonist of our perception.
But we are not able to understand that we are the creator of that perception.
Therefore, we are the creator of that Reality.
When we wake up, we believe that what we perceive is Reality.
And we assume that the circumstances, as well as the scenario, are real.
And we assume the role of the protagonist of that story.
Then, we become incapable of questioning that Reality.
Everything we perceive is Unreal.
It is only the creation of the Mind.
But it is very, very hard for us to believe it.
Because we perceive a scenario around us.
During the dream I will believe that that is Real, even if I am walking on the sidewalk and the next moment I am swimming in the sea.
I will not question it.
But if I understand that it is the Mind that generates Reality, then I can question it.
I am not saying that I can go on to control the scenario, because I am subject to the laws of Perception.
This happens because of the synchronization and simultaneity of infinite beings creating the same scenario.
Just as in a dream I can alter the scenario, just as in remembering or imagining, in the Reality of the waking state, I cannot.
I am 1/1000000000000000000000000000000 of the beings that are perceiving at that instant.
So my desire to alter the scenario cannot affect the rest of the percepts.
If a large number of perceivers tried the same change, it would happen.
But there must be a sufficient number. Not just I, but many I's.
In this way the changes would be achieved. I call them collective Perception agreements.
If I understand that Perception creates Reality, I can decipher the meaning of life.
That is what I have done in my theory. I don't say it is the absolute truth, because I don't know.
But, at least, it is a truth.
It is simple.
What I am saying is that Self-Perception (the Presence, the one Mind) began to perceive and got caught in that "dream".
And it wants to "wake up". But it cannot.
Because its desire is not enough.
The Self-perception fragmented into an infinity of perceivers and in order to "wake up", all perceivers must want to do it at the same time.
And that can only be achieved in one way.
The only way to get the Identities to awaken at the same time is for there to be only One.
The Supreme Being.
And that He desires to awaken.
