what do you guys understand by the term 'hyper reality'? DDL has already touched on the idea by the suggestion of escapism.

Any thoughts?
Garret sneaks past 4 guards undetected knocking each one out as he goes. He hides the unconscious bodies, sneaks past another guard pick-pocketing a key undetected and gets to his goal and escapes without raising an alarm. The sense of accomplishment from that success is hyper reality to me. In reality I sat with a keyboard and mouse but for just a moment in another world I was a thief who is a master at his trade.
