Yes, evolutionary-wise our interpretation of reality is more important than actual reality it seems.
But then, actual reality? What makes objective reality more real than subjective reality? The imagination still exists in the sense that we have it. We have an imagination.
I'd prefer to just say that objectivity is a different ball game to subjectivity. Both are part of reality. Our subjectivity is attached to the objective world. Our imagination is not separate from the universe... it really is in our brain. It has to be somewhere at least.
Another example of a confusion between what's real and not real is the concept of 'real magic'. Apparently real magic is the kind of magic where you can actually do magic spells and such and such, rather than simply tricks. But that's the kind of magic that's not real because it can't actually be done. The kind of magic that can actually be done, magic tricks, is apparently not real magic.
