My daydream world feels more real than real life. I have no clue what to believe anymore. I have no clue what is right and what is wrong, or if it even matters.

you're worried about what is right or wrong because you're scared of being wrong and would rather it not matter at all like in yoyr day dreams?

I'm worried of which world is real. I have no clue anymore. My body tells me Life is real, but my brain and senses heavily want to believe in my daydream world. I want to give in to my daydreams. I want to end myself and go there. I don't want to believe in Life anymore.

About half of my sleeping dreams have to do with my daydream.

I can't believe both. On one hand I feel the dream is real because I've experienced it, but on the other hand it feels like me and my body are making shit up.

Two other questions as well.

1. How long have you been experiencing your dream world, as in months/years?

2. Did you consciously create it or did it come to you in some other way?

1. Multiple years now. I'm sure I've had a dream world for like 10 years now, but it's gotten more and more specific, and about 3 years ago it turned into this one.

2. It just appeared slowly, I feel. However, things that I see in real life do slightly influence it. (Not by much, but they do.)

This is pretty interesting. There are ways you can make yourself more likely to lucid dream, to induce it regularly, if you wanted to do that.

So you perceive of the dream world as completely "real" or "existent" I take it?

It feels as real to me as the real world, but on the other side it's still mostly in my head, so I'm not sure whether I should believe in it anymore. It's trying to prove to me that it's real, but it still feels slightly "made up", even though it saved my life many times.

Honestly I wish I had a mental world like this I could escape into. It sounds very nice. If it is not harming you in some meaningful way, I don't see what the problem is with retaining it. Our experience of reality is ultimately just a mental perception. We see and feel things the way we do because we've evolved to see and feel them that way. It doesn't necessarily reflect what is real (take for example our susceptibility to optical illusions). I have seen some interesting research that shows that people from different parts of the world perceive things in very different ways due to adaptation; e.g., what is an optical illusion to you may be completely clear to someone on the other side of the earth. But I'm getting off topic. Do you think that having your dream world is a net benefit?

The two are linked, in essence the "real" world is a part of the daydream world.

Hmm. You should not kill yourself. If you did, and you saved your dream world, you would be dead and could not experience it anymore. So the outcome, with your dream world being gone, would be the same either way, except you would be gone as well. The only way you can access it is through your physical mind here, and with that gone, it's gone. Have you attempted to consciously exert control over the rules of the dream world to simply remove the problem?

What implies that you can't access your dream world when dead? If this dream world is real, death in one System wouldn't matter at all, and a rescue mission would happen for me from Tsuki's side.

This is very interesting to talk about, but when it ends up culminating in something like suicide, you need to realize that your dreams aren't real. Apparently you are aware of this to some degree. It is nice to have an escape, but that's all it can ever be. The real world is a shitty place, but it's the only one that's here.

babby's first Existential crisis
You'll come to a conclusion sooner or later that the world runs on feelings/emotions and everything is pointless, primarily due to the unavoidable heat death of the universe.
You want a gf to not feel lonely/ want to experience the emotion of love, you want to buy video games/hobby related shit because it feels nice. A lot of doctors save lives and that's their noble purpose in life, but it is only so because it brings them some sort of feeling - content with life for example. If tending a bar is what gives you joy then go all for it my dude.
The only thing that stopped me from killing myself in the last 5 years was my mother, but I'm 20 now and I'm trying to get into uni to major in microbiology and then get a master's/ PhD just so I can get my good feeling - working in labs doing stuff not done before. also I want good a pay to buy me endless video games and other things I might pick up

Lol. You have no idea what you don't know. Camus is good suggestion, though.
