A Course in Miracles contrasts the world that we made, with the "real world" that reflects God's reality within the dream, and thus becoming a transition to Heaven. 
The real world is the state where perception is purified of anything that is not compatible with Heaven, and so the transition is quick and joyful.
The real world is a state in which the mind has learned how easily do idols go when they are still perceived but wanted not. T-30.V.5:2.
The world you made is ... totally chaotic, governed by arbitrary and senseless "laws," and without meaning of any kind. T-12.III.9:6.
Dreams show you that you have the power to make a world as you would have it be, and that because you want it you see it. ... You seem to waken, and the dream is gone. Yet what you fail to recognize is that what caused the dream has not gone with it. Your wish to make another world that is not real remains with you. And what you seem to waken to is but another form of this same world you see in dreams. All your time is spent in dreaming. Your sleeping and your waking dreams have different forms, and that is all. Their content is the same. T-18.II.5:1,8-14.
The ego may see some good, but never only good. That is why its perceptions are so variable. It does not reject goodness entirely, for that you could not accept. But it always adds something that is not real to the real, thus confusing illusion and reality. For perceptions cannot be partly true. If you believe in truth and illusion, you cannot tell which is true. … Perceiving only the real world will lead you to the real Heaven, because it will make you capable of understanding it. T-11.VII.3:1-6,9.
