Everything we conceive as 'real' is just a frozen, petrified variation of the fluid and ever-changing dreamworld, which we call The Irrational.
Western Christian Church has consistently shunned any interpretation that endorses such a view-point, and, so it appears, only through Judaic influence has it made itself (ever so controversial) a part of the modern scientific discourse (I'm thinking about Freud and Jung, here, among others), albeit, to be sure, in a heavily compromised form.
As modern science is, in essence, a form of communal research, and as such, bound and upheld by a complex of norms and standards, it is unthinkable that a sense of true appreciation of The Irrational could penetrate it, in any proper sense of the word. Thus, for the time being, it shall remain in the sphere of Reason Pure, that is, First Philosophy - a non-science in the modern sense - which, by way of vindicating it, does away at once with any delusion of a well-founded and self-sustaining rationality, and, therefore, of a reality marked by similar traits.
