i think the important thing is imagination, not flight from reality, but working with reality. if we just have a morbid fascination, like addiction, it weighs us down. if we are aware we feel, and have to work with the feeling. we have to make something in reality, or out of the reality we find ourselves in, not to get stuck in it, but to liberate ourselves from the tyranny of the imposed, the power-construct reality. we can't just say it's not reality, and escape into metareality. we have to find our heart in this common reality.
