I'm trying to figure out what the opposite of reality is. Like fiction and non fiction. Hot and cold, etc. What is the opposite of reality?

maybe unreality... I just looked it up on a page for antonyms
Defintion of unreality
1) unreality -- (the quality possessed by something that is unreal)
2. unreality, irreality -- (the state of being insubstantial or imaginary; not existing objectively or in fact)

Can it have an opposite?
Reality is what is real, what is around us that we all perceive or agree is there. A person has the ability of imagination so it's real. Imagination takes place in your mind - is that not real? Is it not your reality that you can imagine things?
Our whole experience is reality. Space, time, matter, energy, imagination, dreams, thoughts and so on. Everything we experience is reality. I don't think reality is confined to physical objects we see. Reality is reality, whatever we experience.
Or another way to say it, everything we experience IS reality. Everything we experience composes reality. So what's the opposite of that?
Nonreality? Unreality? Could you ever catch this one? If not, why chase things that are uncatchable? (Asking genuinely, not sarcastically.)

The opposite of reality is 1. the Truth behind "reality" and 2. a place where reality is not a referent. It is not another "reality" or an alternative "reality". It is simply another way of being in a space that does not describe itself as "reality".

Ignorance. People supplant reality with ignorance, therefore it is its opposite.

Fantasy which often masquerades as a lie.
