I would define it as Truth and Fantasy are on opposite ends of an extreme, and Reality is somewhere in the middle.
For example, I love someone in my Reality, my Fantasy is that they might one day be my wife and have a family with me, and Truth is they are my friend.
Or Theologically, Truth might be there is no God, some might fantasize about an atonement for sin and a ticket into heaven, while the reality is for that person they have a crutch to not blame themselves for their past mistakes.
The Atheist must forgive themselves,
Both hit the bottle, do they not, is that their reality?
What are your secrets that you don't let your Truth know because you keep them locked up in Fantasy?
Marriage, Children, Death, Glory
Victory,
What of jealousy
What a wicked word.
You are loved.

I agree with you that Reality is somewhere in the middle, but my reasoning for that is a little different.
For instance, physics have proven that all matter is comprised of primarily empty space and that all molecules are in a constant state of motion, however, the dask I am sitting at seems to be solid and still. Reality is in the middle be cause the desk is there (true) but it is neither solid not still (illusion / fantasy).

Truth: That which is considered to be the supreme reality and to have the ultimate meaning and value of existence.
Reality: The totality of all things possessing actuality, existence, or essence.
Fantasy: An imagined event or sequence of mental images, such as a daydream, usually fulfilling a wish or psychological need.

For me, it has been an act of closed-mindedness to have proceeded so long with the perception that there was no God. To call a belief or faith a "crutch", in the backdrop of my experience, is to deny the objective results of such Faith. For I have known no person who has been able to seriously improve their personal defects of character, be they addictions, alcoholism, depression, or any other self-destructive mannerism without the aid of Faith. I have yet to see an atheism untainted by some degree of cynicism. However, those who simply claim to not know whether or not something is out there tend to have a higher degree of hope.

Reality is Evolution, Truth is Evolution, Fantasy is made up. Don't worry though God made sure that both sides win.

You are loved also. I do blame myself for my past mistakes and wade through the mire of my reality with as big a smile as possible. I hit my rum bottle in moderation as my consolation for fantasies unrealized. Jealousy is my undoing.

Truth never changes, fantasy never stays the same and reality is whatever you make of the two.

An example of reality is that evolution is a fantasy, and that's the truth.

Truth...is the undeniable fact.
Fantasy...is the debatable fact.
Reality...is the occuring fact.
If you want a more figurative answer....
Truth...my ELA teacher hates me.
Fantasy...my ELA teacher adores me.
Reality...my ELA teacher is hating me right now.
OR! This is a more atheist outlook...
Truth...there is no god.
Fantasy...there is a god.
Reality...people believe there is a god.
Hope this helps!

Fantasy is what you wish were true, or fear might be true, without any logically satisfactory reason to think that it actually is true. Truth and reality are those things which are true and real independently of what we think, believe, desire or fear about them.

Truth: What you believe to be true.
Reality: What you experience to be true.
Fantasy: What you wish were true.
