The real world is 'inside' your own brain - not 'out there' in time and space. You're just projecting. When you go inside and face your own mind you're no longer in the dream world of people, coffee shops, movies, laptops, and bicycles. These material objects and events are the world your mind projects or creates, not the real world. When people that practice yoga meditation like TM, they go inside to experience another state of consciousness. The consciousness state inside your own mind is the real world you have to deal with! In contrast, people that experience only the material world of the waking state don't experience things as they really are, only an illusion or a shadow world that is mind-made. If a person wnated to 'get away' from the world, they would just deep sleep all day or go into a dream state. There's not much difference between the dream state and the waking state - anything you can do in the waking state you can do in the dream state. In the dream state you can consult your friends, you can run and jump and there are tables and doors. This is pretty basic Vajranyana Buddhist Yoga - I'm surprised you don't know anything about it. Who did you say your Buddhiust teachers were? You seem to think you're already enlightened, but you're having difficulty describing your own state of mind!
