I have several Virtual friends in SL. 2 of them have urged me to travel and see them in RL. But I am hesitant. Can our "shared hallucination" stand the collision of worlds? Or will the Dream collapse on itself? To me SL friendships seem even more fragile than chatroom friendships because the fantasy life is so rich, we create such deep stories about one another that Reality seems doomed to disappointment.
