What does "more real" mean

[SubaruN2000]

From my understanding, the reason viewing something as fiction is granted a level of infinity above what it views as fiction is due to the fact the higher being/realm is more real than the lower one.

But what does it even mean to be "more real"? What makes something "more real" than another thing?

It can be more real because the character are seeing something that less real than themselves.
Example are a guy who create a game world or a guy who dreamed a world, those worlds are less real than them.
Hope this help, if you still have questions don't hesitate to ask!

Well, then, what does it mean to be "less real"? Like, a dream wouldn't nessesarily be "less real" than the dreamer, it would just not be real at all, right? What qualifies as being "more or less real"?

By wiki standard, dream are less real than those character because hypothetically the denizens of the dream think the dream they live in are real. Even though they are just a dream.

Alright, thanks.

Besides viewing something as literal fiction though, what else would qualify for being more real? Like is there a concrete definition for what kind of stuff would qualify?

And would viewing something as nonexistent, but not like a literal piece of fiction like a book or something, qualify?

Viewing something like a shadow or illusion qualifies as well. Or infinite transendence. Aleph numbers also help.
