can reality be an illusion? what is the oppositional truth? if you mean that we fail to see the full dynamics of reality than you are talking about something like what plato referred to in his cave allegory:
"...Plato likens people untutored in the Theory of Forms to prisoners chained in a cave, unable to turn their heads. All they can see is the wall of the cave. Behind them burns a fire. Between the fire and the prisoners there is a parapet, along which puppeteers can walk. The puppeteers, who are behind the prisoners, hold up puppets that cast shadows on the wall of the cave. The prisoners are unable to see these puppets, the real objects, that pass behind them. What the prisoners see and hear are shadows and echoes cast by objects that they do not see."*
though the shadows cast on the caves walls are less illusion than another aspect of reality.
