Guess I know where I'm going for vacation this year.

You question has actually baffled philosophers for centuries if not millennia. Seriously.
Imagine we play something like Dungeons and Dragons, and your character "jumps" over a ravine. Did that really happen? No, of course not. But it kinda did. We rolled dice, we plotted on paper, there were consequences to the action, and rewards for success. Everyone in the game visualized the same thing.
What just happened? Did we together just make a switch to a fake language, whereby, "succesfully jump," means that, "the math you wanted to happen happened," or did we create a little world where a jump is when that sort of math takes place with dice and on paper. And what of your character? DOes he exist? No. But kinda. He has motives, things he's done, a history. The same thing is asked.
So your question is really hard. There is a map of middle earth on your wall, does that make middle earth real? Yes, to an extent. That map does represent something that is, "real," but it does not represent a place with 3 dimensions that is physical.

The Misty Mountains? No. I'd rather go to Rivendale or Hobbiton. The Misty Mountains have goblins and giants and trolls. I'll have no part of that unless I am armed with 30 caliber machine gun.
What's that? Not very Tolkienesque? I know. But I rather live through the experience.

Free-Base cocaine is much like crack in that they allow the user to free his mind and experience the supernatural. Thus - They are privy to information that the rest of us are not privy too; such as A Knowing that Middle Earth Does exist.
