Matrix vs The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Reality is real, hence the italiced root word "real".Reality is what we see around us, what takes place around us, what actually happens. Not something that we imagine, or dream to be real. Reality isn't what we believe to be there, but actually is there, whether we can believe it or not. In the Matrix, reality is distinguished by illusion where reality is an illusion in the movie. In the Matrix, everything we thought to be real, isnt.
Personally, I believe imagination can subsitute for reality, as it did in the movie "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly". Imagination creates our own reality, it gives people something to believe in. Although I defined reality as "real", ultimately, we can't be enitrely sure what we think reality is, is truly "real". Rather, we believe it's real because want too, it gives us closure. Really, we don't know what reality is, what surrounds us is what we think, and may be reality whereas something like our imagination gives us a reality we would rather accept.
