It has been awhile since I took a philosophy class last one was philosophy of science and I failed miserably so bear with me. Doesn't this whole train of thought originate from "The Allogory of the Cave" (Plato?). When I read this it blew my mind at first and definatly got the wheels turning, but being the scientific person I am I just came to a conclusion from what I have learned. Everything in our brain is transmitted by electrical and chemical signals, so these signals are sent to the sensory portion of the brain and interpreted into what they really are, we also remember certain things important for the future(i.e. touching a hot stove, staring at the sun, having sex, loud noises) we have EXPERIENCED these things or FELT them in our mind this is really happening and isn't that all that matters?
