I think reality is like some sort of flexible net. When you dream, especially when it is a dream you like or you are very interested in; whem you wake up, it'll be "Gah, I'm back to reality! I hate this!" And when you see horrible nightmares, and you wake up, you will be somewhat grateful it was just a nightmare.
It's a "basis". It's up to people to make dreams come true; and it's also up to people to make nightmares come true. Reality is simply reality; a blank canvas anyone can paint on.
The thing is, there are several limits of reality. These limits generally create order; but because of that, it feels rather... well, limited. One can only expand reality from there, whether in a good way or a bad way.
Many terrible things happen, and nothing seems or feels fair, and the world is cruel.
That's why we dream. That's why we have nightmares. People have varying likes and dislikes, so what may be a dream for one may be a nightmare for another, and of course there are those things eveeybody loves and everybody fears. The thing is:
Accomplish dreams, prevent or avoid nightmares. That's how people see it.
However... people may accomplish their "dreams" by causing "nightmares" to others.
So... reality isn't warped. It's grounded. It's usually people who make it warped.
Otherwise... one can only reach out to the edges of reality and grab their dreams.
Without reality, there would be no basis for fantasy. At the same time, dreams and nightmares are also a significant part of it.( I refer to fictional stories and pieces of art, not just fantasy.) That's why... while I also hate reality, I acknowledge the importance of its existence - while it's true that bad things happen; it's also true that good things happen.
Although I say this, I drown in the realm of fantasy, runninh away from reality everytime.
I suppose I could say I'm a hypocrite, but even hypocrites can have thoughts regarding these matters, no matter how contradictory to their words or nature, right?
I apologize if this statement has made anyone upset. Just think if it as babbling from a girl who likes to daydream and thus, my beautiful world of fantasy and dreams wouldn't exist if it wasn't for reality. At the same time, nightmares occasionally provide for good story fodder in my case - though of course, in reality, I only want to run away.
Looking at the news, politics, reality, you'd think the world is becoming a garbage dump..then you see these creative, imaginative pieces and you'd think you're so lucky you get to read them!! At leasti think so. beautiful
