That is just your perspective. It is good to have big dreams but there are things out there for real worth loving.

I agree, it is a dream, not much different from the nocturnal dream created in sleep, but perhaps less chaotic. Or rather, the physical world is real, but man projects meaning, significance and emotions into it, making it illusory and deceptive (precisely for this, interesting and irreplaceable to many).

Dreams are a tentative construction of meaning from our minds with the pieces of data we perceive in the waking world. We can't dream about what we haven't perceived.

It is true. If daily reality is a dream of the first degree, the nocturnal one is a dream squared, a dream of a dream. However the former is a shared illusion, "la folie des masses", a madness badly cloaked in rationality and consistency.

I believe that reality is its own object, free from perception. I also believe that there's a common perception shared between people, as well as other animals. Where things mostly differ is in the portions of reality we individually perceive, and in the degree of knowledge with which we can articulate reality, which in turn influence our interpretations of reality henceforth.

Sure. These are rudiments of cognitive psychology. Instead I emphasize mainly the emotional and volitional aspect. Of every simple real object man, attributing to it an emotional value, either yearns for it or rejects it; he wants to incorporate it or get rid of it: he is unable to observe it purely for what it is. Because he is in the grip of his mind; while he thinks he commands it, he is its slave.
