Real time is elapsed time which is usually the difference between wall clock times but not always.
Wall time is thus different from cpu time which measures only the time during which the processor is actively working on a certain task.
For example if you start a process at 01 59 00 on the day in which daylight savings summer time takes effect in a locale in which the time change is at 02 00 and the process takes two minutes then the real elapsed time will be two minutes while the wall clock will show a difference of.
