Comment on When playing Super Mario Bros I ignore my job, and vice-versa. That's two realities, oblivious to each other. What separates them?

A video game is not a reality. It’s a past time. Watching a television show, reading a book or making some art is also not an alternate reality. You’re still in the same place.

You have an avatar. You have a goal. You do stuff and try to get stuff and try to avoid stuff… You feel real emotions. That sure sounds like a reality.

  You do all those things in your dreams. Do you believe dreams are reality?

    Of course not. It’s just a dream.
    
    Except when I’m in the dream. Then it seems like reality.
    
    Which is the case for all realities.
    
    So I’ll go with “it depends”.
