See title.
A dreamer finds reprieve escaping from reality; he who does not feels no pain from a fantasy too divine to experience. He who lives in a dream lives a life untold of sorrow, for his strength comes from his thoughts. He who grounds himself in lucidity finds his solace without the aid of his unconscious desires.

Two states of mind. One view. These two states are choices to be made, yet they are tendencies inherent from birth. Even so, they are not so different as they seem. It is but one state of mind to grasp at that which is perfection in our heads, or to find satisfaction only from what is right before our eyes. A dream, or reality: opposites, and yet soulmates. The same, and different.

So if life, is nothing but a dream, live it as such. And if it is a nightmare, then sleep not the sleep of fantasy, for that state is one from which you may never wake.
