You will never get out of it alive.
Sometimes, living in a Dream world is a good thing.
Two types of people exist in this world
Dreamers
Realists
"Dreamers" are the people who spend more time in the Dreamworld than in the real world. No matter what consequences, issues and problems they are going through in the real world, They love dreaming and never stop doing it.
They always have this concept of the "Ideal world" in their minds, and they keep hoping that, in the end, everything will be fine no matter what.
While
"Realists", on the other hand, are the ones who tend to believe in "What is" than to assume( or believe in) "What could or can be". No such word as "I wish" or " If I could" exists in their dictionary. They usually don't believe in Ideal worlds, nor do they have high expectations about anything. Because they think that if you can't have something, Why waste your time dreaming about it?
In simple words, realists have a simple formula to live with, and that is
The Reality is Reality.
They believe that Reality, no matter how bad it is, is the only thing that matters.
Now that I have briefly explained both types,
let's see which one is better and has more perks.
Well, actually, we can't just deny one type for the other based on a few factors because people of both types exist, and both have their roles in this world, and without the one, the other cannot survive.
Imagine, if the dreamers take over the world; We will only be counting on our expectations, dreams, and (sometimes)unrealistic goals, without even realizing our real potential, resources and capabilities.
While
On the other hand, If the realists took over the world. They will never try to improve and excel. Because, according to them, it would be useless. And eventually will lose the purpose of being a human.
Without dreamers, realists will never learn to think out of the box.
So, basically, the sole purpose of this comparison is to open your minds and not turn you against those who see the world differently.
Dreamers, thanks to their curiosity, interest and high expectations, are usually the category involved in most of the inventions and discoveries around the world. They don't care about the limitations of the real world. The only thing they have in mind is their goals.
Realists don't usually set high goals because they know they can't achieve them. If we see the world the way they see it, their realistic nature makes sense.
Because we, humans, live in a world where even getting your basic needs met is a big challenge. And, in a critical survival situation like this, where you hardly get your basic needs met, how can you even imagine-- getting your high goals achieved. When you already have so much to handle.
In light of the above para, we can further divide realists into two types.
Those who are realists, no matter what the situation is.
Those who have a dreamer in them; but, due to the unfavorable circumstances, are forced to become a realist.
So it is clear that sometimes it's not in your control to choose whether to be a realist or a dreamer.
Coming to the point; I mentioned at the very start of this article,
Sometimes, living in a Dream world is a good thing.
Hardships are part of life; you will face them no matter what you do because you don't have a choice. Life is going to be as it is.
So, if we don't have a choice, why waste our time worrying about it. Why not spend our time enjoying it; by hoping that everything will be fine. In simple words, by dreaming.
Well, I realize that this is the perfect point to quote
Elbert Hubbard.
As he says
"Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive".
As I said, if we don't have a choice, why cry over it? Why not enjoy it.
Conclusion:
Dreaming can make you excel in life, but realisticity can help you control yourself(to know your limits). So, it's better to stay between both ends, To keep the balance.
So, friends, here it comes to an end.
I hope this article will help you in some way.

I think dream is as much important as reality because the person who dream he has ambition to full fil his dream to be the part of the real world
