"No phenomenon exists alone, and none has a solid existence. Appearances will become more transparent and less solid as we familiarize ourselves with seeing phenomena as dreams and illusions." Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche

All are experientially valid insofar as the knife cuts, the roof shields from rain, the coat provides warmth, etc. By virtue of having been constructed from component parts, they are also subject to disintegration, like dreams upon waking. That can't erase a stab wound, though.

Dreams and illusions are "real" only insofar as they are experienced, not in the way they appear. Their conventional existence is relational, deceptive, perspectival. We may acknowledge their experiential reality, but see through them without mistaking them as solid/substantial.
