Escaping Reality

You lie down Your head hit the pillow You pull the warm blankets over your cold body Your eyes quickly grow heavy and you fall asleep. This is an escape from your life. Whenever life if hard and circumstances feel unbearable you can always escape to here. So this question arises What is more real? A life filled with anguish and hate Or one that only exists in our minds but gives us that release to a better place. So I ask again What is more real? The feeling of security in this dreamscape Or the hardships you suffer in reality?
