Yes, it's just an analogy to help describe the indescribable. It's like waking up from the ignorance of separation within the dream while still being in the dream. In that case the dream still appears so it cannot be said to be unreal, however it cannot be said to be real because the waking within the dream reveals it's nature as simply a dream and nothing separate from the dreamer.
It's not unreal as in there's nothing. It's not real as in there's something. There is No-Thing, that's all there is, and it's what we all are. As Vivekananda said "Everything is not. God alone is.".
