There are more than three...
The realities are the metaphysical construct of a person's mind. In the first, third and fourth games, they are the creation of a single (different) individual, each of them strong and focused, and therefore able to control and manipulate the reality, to an extent, with your main character as an unwilling bystander each time. In the second, each character, except Maria, is in their very own alternate reality, though they can overlap each other and do several times. These people are not aware that it is their own minds at work, and thus cannot exhibit conscious influence.
Silent Hill 2 explains the nature of the alternate realities in a memo.
