Samsara as a fictional world

Samsara, from the point of view of the enlightened, is compared to a dream, a work of the shade of night. 

On the one hand it is more than a comparison, because the matter of the world, seen as Samsara by the enlightened, is dream stuff. As Shakespeare pointed out, 

"We are such stuff

As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

Might it also be usefully compared to a work of fiction, understood phenomenologically as a virtual construct of the imagination, without perhaps the text of which it is an intentional correlative? Reprising Shakespeare again,

Prospero:
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

The Tempest Act 4, scene 1, 148–158

For a Buddhist, 

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

This is important because the modern work of philosophical literary criticism and hermeneutics may provide a western horizon that can merge with the eastern horizon to fruitfully articulate the codependent arising of the realm-like "fictional" worlds of samsara.

And perhaps there is a text operating, a narrative, or word, Logos. 

The matter of Samsara, phenomenologically is dreamstuff, the stuff of the imagination, but how is Samsara structured? 

1. Like a dream. 

2. Like a story, a narrative.

3. Like a text read by someone with the manifesting of a imagined world, the intentional correlative of the text.

4. As primordial understanding structured as care, concern, desire? A world we are thrown into as Dasein, lost to the interpretation of common sense, thus Samsara?

A key structure of Samsara seems to be that it hides itself, it dissimulates itself to itself as Dasein, in Dasein's inauthenticity.

When Heidegger points out that Being, for us, flees, or hides its manifestation structure, in the beings manifested, this I suggest, is formally indicating a structure of Samsara, and of what it means for a Dasein to be ignorant; ie, lost in the common sense of the community, inauthentic. Inauthenticity points to ignorance of who we truly, really, authentically are, and how beings manifest codependently within world.

Samsara is the world worlding, but unbeknownst to Dasein.

Within Buddhism, samsara is defined as the continual repetitive cycle of birth, death, and bardo that arises from ordinary beings' grasping and fixating on a self and experiences. Samsara arises out of ignorance (avidya) and is characterized by dukkha (suffering, anxiety, dissatisfaction). In the Buddhist view, liberation from samsara is possible by following the Buddhist path. Wikipedia.
