The wave function and any of its behaviors are not considered Real in CI, quite the opposite. CI posits that the wave function / schrodinger equation is just a mathematical tool that can be used to model the behavior of quantum phenomena - it is merely a tool that we can use, together with the Born rule, to predict the outcome of measurements. The measurements are the only things that are real. That's why CI is also sometimes summarized as "shut up and calculate" :).
