How convenient. Without the observer, there is no observation. It's clever, but it also negates "non-value." So you've created a magical realm wherein nothing "is." Conveniently for me, an observer, nothing in this logical construct of yours "isn't" either.
So, I think that when we talk about perceptions of value (interestingly, the emphasis there can be on "perception" OR "value"), we would hope to include an observer.

And, no, you can't. you can convince yourself that you believe that reality exists, but you can't prove that reality exists. Philosophy for dummies is a rather good book.

OHMYGOD, am I dreaming? Where is my head? There can be no 4th dimension, 3 is as far as I can see! Am I what I do? Am I at all? Other sophomoric things like that?
Heh, no. Perhaps if you read the unabridged versions, you wouldn't see philosophy as an enforcer nor an arbiter of limitations, but rather a way to see past them.
But it's convenient to go about peckering at other people's understandings of life and existence when you've no understanding of your own. Congratulations, Socrates. You are truely wise because you know nothing.
Of course, having said that, tell us everything you know, and don't stop until you've said anything.
