My take is that the term describes a meta-physical twilight zone where imagination and outside reality overlap. This condition of existing in a transitional space between boundaries, or overlapping them, is a ubiquitous marker of the concept of surreality. So, if the term surreal refers to a state of being semi-real or quasi-real, then the obvious question is 'where is the base-line?' Whose reality serves as the standard by which all others will be judged. If a person lives predominantly within himself, is this not his reality, regardless of whether he meets the criterion for 'sanity'? I guess this is just the same question as 'who decides who is sane?' Am I onb the wrong channel? Davey
