To me it means to stay true to whatever you do no matter what...or something like that.

When I hear something like that, I usually ask what they mean by that before proceeding, even if I already know what it means: Be truthful, don't be stupid, act normal, etc.
It's an idiom. Try to treat it as such.

When someone says that to me I proceed to say "What?" because such incomprehensible language shall not be used in places where my existence happens to be placed at.

Keep it Real means exactly what it sounds like. (Sooner or later, people will be asking what YOLO means... -_-)

I think they mean 'don't let your dreams get too big, you'll only be crushed when they don't come true.'
*sigh* I've been told this SO many times. It's not actually an insult, it's just...
Telling you things dont always go the way as planned.

Whenever someone says it to me they always mean to stop saying stuff that i know is not going to happen or to just stop saying stuff that is fake

Stay true to yourself. Go about your own business and take your own path in life. Personally, I think "Keep It Real" could mean just about anything, and I certainly use the saying all the time.

Well, every time I've ever heard that phrase, it has always meant this: "Imagination and humor are useless, and you need to focus on whats happening now."

Yeah, like thats gonna happen.

It means you can take pride in everyday things and don't have to over-extend yourself or take huge risks to become succesful. So.

Erm, to me, it really depends on what context it's used in. If it's used like "Write a story. Keep it real." it means to not use my imagination too much. If it's used like "Keep it real man." it means just be cool. Not how I am in the chatbox

To me, it means be yourself instead of trying to follow society's norm.
