It's that which is still there even when we stop believing in it.

If every living creature on earth ended tomorrow there would be no individual realities, yet actual reality would continue.



As far as we know (we currently cannot prove or disprove panpsychism) that is true. However, I think it is important to keep in mind that we do not perceive reality as it is. Rather we experience the brain's interpretation of reality. So in that sense, human "reality" is basically what most of humanity agrees that it is.
