Hey! I recognize that avatar.

This tangent universe will cease to exist in 28 days, so-and-so hours and so forth, and when it is destroyed everything in it will cease to exist also. It's Donnie's purpose to manipulate events to seal the rift and bring life back to it's place in the real universe...or something like that.

In other words its all one big delusion of grandeur by an person who had a mental breakdown - in other words he's seeing himself as a hero - a superhero who has to go out and save the world while actually he may be plum crazy. Some things in the movie are possibly too good to be true (like the girl of his dreams ending up sitting next to him - him being chosen to save the world and his family and girlfriend and exposing Jim Cunningham as a monster (the anti-Christ - a false prophet - although this act would be negated by his death - in theory) and so forth. That may be an explanation. When his mother and sister died in the plane-crash it effected him and he's now imagining the world as if he might maybe have made a difference.
However I think the real selling point is how it shows how life is at that point in a person's life, growing up from teenager to someone who knows his purpose in life.
And let's not forget the awesomeness of the bunny suit.
