what difference will u observe/experience from the “break” of reality to “break” of long , terrible dream of psychosis?
I reckon it must be a bit different for everybody.
For me…it was like…I came out of the woods. I went over the stream. I went through the jungle with lions and then a desert, found an oasis. And said I’m home. But then I had to keep going because it disappeared. I went through mountains and trails and prairies and marshes and swamps. And then I still wasn’t home. But then after walking through a few cities and towns. Well Im not sure if im truly ever home. But this resembles home more than it used to back with those lions and ■■■■.

Well, if I understand the question correctly, reality was all around me the whole time I was really psychotic. So basically, I was in it but everybody I knew was just patiently waiting for me to join back in it.
Once I got out the hospital, I started functioning more and the more I did “normal” things like school and work and living pretty independently the more I faced reality. My psychosis still flared up a lot in certain situations but if I was at the park tossing a baseball around with a friend or driving up to watch the San Francisco Giants play their hated rivals the Dodgers at Candlestick Park the more I felt I was part of reality. I still suffered from symptoms but every time I went to work or went out to eat with my parents or sisters or drove up to Berkeley with a friend to all the hole-in-the-wall record shops it was like a daily reprieve from insanity.
