Fantasy is something that is
produced by the imagination,
whereas reality is something that
is exists independently from the
mind. 
 Forinstance, if a person were to say they
saw a pig flying in the sky, his claim would be
considered fantastical given the general
understanding that pigs cannot fly. Fantasy
also relates to events that take place in
works created through the imagination of
others, such as TV shows and books.
Andy could buy books about
volcanoes.
Genies are not real, so a genie
couldn’t come out of a lamp.
An ant cannot lift an
entire hotdog.
