No... but it has the potential to be!
Imagination is the seed of reality!
You can do be or have anything you want- if you first imagine it/ believe and it will come to you if you cincentrate strongly enough!
you only get what you think of!

I don't think one is "greater" than the other. In fact! I sometimes wonder if my imagination is reality, or reality is my imagination. Truly, I've questioned this. Just think about it. On a more platonion level, shoot, I'm blowing it. I was going to say, that imagination motivates reality, & reality evokes imagination. So! Don't they sort of balance out? It's sort of like mxing black & white together. You'll get an infinite shades of grey, but you need black & white to begin with. You think?

Well, greater than physical reality, yes, since imagination and consciousness create physical reality and physical reality is only a part of a much bigger reality, which I will call spiritual reality.

Imagination is greater because you have unlimited possibilities. Reality is limited and boring. Imagination is what makes reality worth living.

Without imagination humans would have been eaten by animals long, long ago. Imagination is the mother of inventions used to alter, control and dominate reality. Imagination wins.

there are boundries. Imagine is great because anything can happen in your imagination but if you let it go to far say you daydream that the guy u like likes you back all the time and then you find out he doesnt it can hurt.
to quote I'm Not That Girl from Wicked : "Dont dream too far. Dont lose sight of who you are."
"Dont wish. Dont start. Wishing only wounds the heart."
sometimes its better to stay in reality otherwise you could get really hurt.

i believe that the imagination is a beautiful concept and i find it amazing how your brain can take your wants and desires and kinda put them into your own FAKE reality... we somtimes want our imagination to be the truth and sometimees our imagination tricks us into believeing or seeing in a different way than we would normally.... and of course many would believe that imagination is greater than reality but reality is actually there we can see it, feel it , tounch it, etc. our imagination is only what we want not what we have.

No, Reality is the Father of Imagination just as Neccessity is the Mother of Invention

Reality is just another level of existence in which we all live. Imagination is the one above it.
I'm mostly there 90% of the time.

If I were to have the misfortune of having brain damage such that I lost science, my Ego would expand immeasurably as I would have lost the ability to measure and all knowledge from that ability. In that condition of lost self reflection I would perceive everything of myself greater than anything other than myself, but I would be incapable to reflect that internal reality for it to be conscious fact; consciousness for my Ego in that condition would be the universe.
The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.
