The scale is not truly objective and is difficult to measure - but it has few practical purposes and hence doesn't actually matter.
Your dreams cannot go off the scale, Gnomon, since 140dR represents complete incoherence with reality and may cause brain damage if experienced. If something cannot be explained in English that doesn't mean it is beyond coherence with reality.
The scale measures unreality relative to current reality. 0dR is current normality. So 0dR in Caesar's time would be different to 0dR now. We can measure Caesar's reality on the scale, and Caesar could measure our reality on the scale. There we would have an interesting comparison.

Thanks, Baryonic Being.
That's a good answer.

For different times you will have to invent your own scale.
