Fantasy can Never beat Reality as it lacks Truth?

It would seem that we're only covering one part of the issue, which seems to be case in many of the threads on SD. Fantasy is malleable, and because of that its very easy to create a world in which you get whatever you want, but there are fantasies, such as dreams, that force you to confront personal issues that you can't deal with in reality. Fantasies tend to allow us to escape the bullshit of reality, so we tend to generalize them as something good, but that's not always the case.
The strongest case I can make for fantasy being, in some way, superior to reality is that it allows us to confront issues that we are otherwise unable to.

Fantasy is everything for me to be honest. In reality I just wake up and exist. Wouldn't care if it was my last one, not missing out on anything. Who knows I might awake in a better place.
Fantasy created by Visual Novels, Anime, Games (MMO's) or whatever can really great an awesome atmosphere that gives me such a warm feeling inside. I pretty much live the day thinking 'soon I will be home and able to delve back into my own world' ....which sadly takes place behind my PC.
Because of that people often think I might be a bit addicted to the Internet, but they're wrong. It's just the only device for me to get stuff.
But yeah, in short; Life sucks, go fantasy (aka perfection in your own mind)
So you would off yourself If you knew you'd go into a world of fantasy created by your own mind?
Yes, if it was 100% positive I'd awake in such a place I'd be willing to take such a step.
As would I.

Fantacy can beat realitiy BECAUSE it lacs the truth. It is the truth which many people today try to escape from. The truth can be harsh, unforgivving, and painfull. In contrast, lies can lul one to sleep in false sence of security. Ex: The raging popularity of WOW. This is sometimes the reason a person goes insane, they prefer or crave that which they cannot atain.

I'd rather let Fantasy stay as it is, humans have no satisfaction and fantasy provides and infinite realm for the mind to dwell on to escape the harsh reality of life.

In my mind Fantasy easily trumps reality, reality can be and most of the time is boring where as Fantasy is made to always be interesting, and with the lack of truths in Fantasy it is not limited like reality is. Something I find interesting is how much Fantasy effects reality, example being technology a great number of the different technologies we have and are making today come from, are inspired by fantasy.

Fantasy can and beats reality by a long run
People Fantasized of Flying
It was considered impossible because of the lack of "truth" behind it
or so they thought
People Fantasized about Faster Communication
But we have the internet now
Fantasy can become reality
for there is no definite reality
Reality can be warped to someone's will if this someone is capable enough
(For Example Haruhi, Everybody is a Haruhi who can bend the world to their own fantasies, making them realities or sorts)
