Before mine eyes all real, as the dream
Had lively shadowed. --Milton.

Syn: Actual; true; genuine; authentic.

Usage: {Real}, {Actual}. Real represents a thing to be a
substantive existence; as, a real, not imaginary,
occurrence. Actual refers to it as acted or performed;
and, hence, when we wish to prove a thing real, we
often say, ``It actually exists,'' ``It has actually
been done.'' Thus its reality is shown by its
actuality. Actual, from this reference to being acted,
has recently received a new signification, namely,
present; as, the actual posture of affairs; since what
is now in action, or going on, has, of course, a
present existence. An actual fact; a real sentiment.

For he that but conceives a crime in thought,
Contracts the danger of an actual fault.
--Dryden.

Our simple ideas are all real; all agree to the
reality of things. --Locke.
