Default Less Real?

What does "less real" mean? And what rules? Who established them? Even granted that there are rules, established by someone outside of me (and I DO actually believe that), how do you know which thing is bending the rules more? And I don't understand how the universe can become less real... whatever the universe is, that IS reality... how can you possibly be more or less what you are? That's kind of like saying the more I change, the less "me" I become. I'm not less "me", "me" is just different.

So I guess what I'm saying is that bending, or breaking, the generally accepted rules (While I do believe there are "rules", I don't accept that they are what most people think, and I'm not sure that there are very many, or how easy it is to know them) of the universe doesn't make it any less real, it just makes reality different.
