An Idiom as a reality

Is there a word to describe when you use an idiom to describe reality ?

Examples : Raining cats and dogs and it is actually raining cats and dogs, Boxed in and you are actually surrounded by boxes.

Solution 1:

Idioms are normally interpreted figuratively, that is, the words taken together don't mean what each word individually means. If the idiom is actually describing reality, it has become literal.

It is literally raining cats and dogs - I just got hit with a poodle!

Solution 2:

I'd suggest, for real

Slang Truly so in fact or actuality: "Is this place for real? A wolf in a ... leisure suit and a cow in a print dress wait patiently on the couch in the lobby" (Teresa Carson). American Heritage® Dictionary
