Would you pick reality or illusion

I'd rather stay in the real world. What reality is? I give you an example:
you dream of buying a Ferrari - that's your illusion
Your neighbor drives a Ferrari - that's (bitter) reality for you.

Knee jerkishly, I would answer yes.

Reality is bloody depressing these days.

I'm sure they're as moral, physical, emotional, and other consequences to accepting such obvious self delusion but as of now though it might seem a tad too melodramatic ... I'm not too enthusiastic about the so sure about any light at the alleged end of the proverbial tunnel.

Is this an either/or thing as in you get to choose to either be in reality with no dreaming or in dream world with no reality forever? In other words, no leaving the dream to come back to reality?
Could the people in your reality accompany you into your dream world where there's no cancer, no debilitations of age - or maybe I could pick my favorite age when my kids were still little and my parents were still young and healthy and stay there forever - something like that? You know just living in that perfect moment in time when everyone was how you'd always like to remember them?

Hell yeah - I'd pick the dream world. My sister and I were just talking last night about how unbearable it will be when our parents go.
The other day, my friend, who is such a bright, happy, competent, busy person called and told me that she is on the edge of depression for the first time in her life, feeling utter sadness and despair that's effecting everything because her mother has cancer and she knows she will lose her and she doesn't know how she'll live without her in her life.
I would do anything to be able to help her (and me when the time comes for my parents or children or sisters and brothers) and everyone else in the world avoid that -if I could do it by living in a dream.

But only if the people from my reality could come with me.

In the real world, although as the tsar says, it is bloody depressing, especially when one is alone.
