Dream 'n Life, a Paradox

We can dream which ever way we wont but it doesn't change the nightmare we live in, we can fly wherever we want to fly in our dreams, but the ground seems to be the same, i wonder if its good to say life is a dream, isn't it a way to escape ?
Its not as if i am not dreaming and its our nature to dream. But i guess we got to dream real. Dream as a word carries a connotation that its not real. But dreams are real and not real , same is life, its real and not real. The inbuilt paradox of all of life, so perhaps we would say we are not just dreaming when we dream we are awake and its real, just like when we are living we are just not awake but also dreaming!!!! But i hope someone out there can make sense of what i am saying, all is real and all is not real. Its for u to choose what real at this moment, its for u to choose. So choose.......

when ever there is a bad day, i say to myself that this is all just an illusion...but if 'm havin' a good one, i consider it to be real...
