['T[hc reality of the child's reproach to his father, "Can't you see that I am burning?", implying the father's fundamental guilt is more terrifying than socalled external reality itself: He escapes into so-called reality to be able to (-on- tinue to sleep, to maintain his blindness, to elude awakening into the real of' his desire. We can rephrase here the old "hippie" motto of the Ig6os: reality is for those who cannot support the dream. "Reality" is a fantasy-construction which enables us to mask the Real of our desire. (Slavoj Zizek, analyzing Freud's "Dream of' the Burning Child "')
