When I read the article you cited, it seems to me that the author is not saying that thoughts aren’t “real”; she is merely cautioning us not to get obsessively caught up with them to the point to the point that we ignore the reality around us.  We’ve all known people who get caught up with one idea (whether it be global climate change or some conspiracy theory they just heard) and that all they talk about any more.  They seem to think that if this idea is so important to them, it MUST be important to us too or we are wearing blinders.  She’s just saying that the thoughts in your head don’t change the world around you in their own image.  That’s the sense I get out of the article at least.
