	Dan, I would suggest to you, that there is not as much
difference between these two types of images as you apparently
think there is.

	First of all, all visions (i.e., all sensory input) are "real" to
the receiver.  Dreams are real (have you ever had a "fake" dream?).
A better question would be, what is a vision?
	In a practical sense, any vision that has meaning or value
to you at the time, is real.
