When faced with a situation where your life and the lives of those you are with are on the line 'reality' becomes fighting for survival. I feel that the primal need/desire to survive becomes a leveling field and everyone’s reality is the same for that instant. The difference then becomes how each person deals with it.
Two heads are much better than one if they are working together like you said. If we were in such a situation I think that you and I would see eye to eye and be able to use our combined knowledge and experience to overcome our individual faults and thereby be able to deal with whatever ‘reality’ had to dish out.
Peace to you also bro,
