So true. I do think in some cases you can walk the thin line, have a thing be real but also fantastical... but maybe when you do that, you're distancing yourself from it in a way, not sure. When you experience it wholly/completely, it does get a kind of a substance that makes "fantastical" a hard word to apply to it.

It's always a thin line between the fantastic and consensus reality. It's nothing more than a paper veil at times, I think. And I'm content with that.
