What if the urge to escape reality isn't a flaw—but one of the most human things about us? How to Leave Reality explores the many doors people have used to step outside the world: meditation and mysticism, fiction and fandom, psychedelics and virtual worlds, and the darker exits of dissociation and denial. We dig into what these escapes actually do to the mind, why some of them heal while others trap, and whether "leaving reality" is a form of cowardice or a necessary survival skill.
