Internal reality is also known as physical reality in writing. It is a representation of one's fantasies that are basically unconscious.

External reality in literature has to do with outside forces of a particular character. Like some thing the character has to face everyday. Like a character trying to get a job but can not find one quit yet. An internal reality would be opposite. A character learning slowly to like their self.

The nature of external reality is best understood as patterns of relationships. It is inspired by the Buddhist notion of the interconnection of all beings.

Reality anxiety is the fear of danger from the external world, and the level of such anxiety is proportonate to the degree of real threat.
