Well first, I don't have to be dreaming for it not to be real in terms of "true" - which you never know without fact checking. But like most people, I generally don't do that, I assume the information is correct unless something about it seems off enough to double check. But tbh this seems increasingly unreliable as the Information Age turns into the Misinformation Age.
