By definition it is more real than anything I have ever experienced, why, in my current reality where other beings can confirm my existence, I walk and wonder unnoticed, thus invisible and seeing nothing but darkness, hearing nothing but the rambunctious screams of the silence, feeling nothing but the unbearable pain and uneasiness of everlasting numbness. So I feel without feeling. So I live without living. So it would be a sad tale to live a tale of reality. No. My reality will be my dream within a dream, within a dream.
