Alternate realities are built up out of alternative concepts, concepts not shared by other intelligences. Some such alternative concepts are:
spirits
vital force
dualism
strong free will
survival of death
ESP/psychic phenomena
An alternate reality will typically not be built up entirely of alternative concepts. Some concepts will be shared across alternative models of the world.
The level at which a concept appears in the abstraction hierarchy is also important. A Christian's idea of love is rather different from a biologist's.
"When a pickpocket meets a saint all he sees are pockets." The pickpocket and the saint experience different realities.
