That is just the thing, since all we have is our senses then what can you expect to base our interactions with reality? We have no method of relating to reality outside our senses.
So to me saying our sense experience is real or not is totally and utterly irrelevant. If reality is real or not is meaningless. All we get is sense data interpreted by our brains.
The important aspect is that we have an abundant amount consistency between individuals where we can accept facts about reality to be true. This makes reality reliable rather than completely subjective experiences. If reality didn't have this consistency then we wouldn't be able to develop any systems at all for relating to each other. Although many things we come up with are arbitrary, like units of length, weight or time, the fact that there is dimensions, mass and time makes it possible to begin with.
