Kanji for "Reality"
 
I'm looking for the kanji symbol for reality (riariti?) as an opposite to dream (yume).

A picture would help a lot :)

現実

I'm not sure why you added "riariti". Did you want the kana instead of kanji?

Nagoyankee I have a question. It is something that really been wandering in my head for a long time. Why some words have a meaning in Kanji, but they are always used with other kanji to get to the same meaning?
For example 現 in itself already mean reality, why not using that kanji alone?

Me too, I've been wandering it for a long time... I'm really interested in an explanation|
