Your mind can’t always tell the difference between pretend and reality if you pretend too long; or if you go too deep and really believe in what you’re doing.
Meaning of the quote
If you pretend for a very long time or really believe in what you're doing, your mind may have trouble telling the difference between what's real and what's just pretend. The more you act like something is true, the more your brain can start to think it's actually real, even if it's not. It's important to be aware of this so you don't get confused about what's real and what's not.
