A man wakes up and for a few moments he experiences everything exactly as it is. Jon wrote: A man wakes up and is lucid. It doesn’t last long, though, he thought, that kind of lucidity. If it did you wouldn’t be able to stand it, it would kill you. Ullmann
About This Quote

This quote can be interpreted in a number of ways. The person is awake in a dream, a lucid state, and they are happy to find themselves alive. There is a brief moment in which they experience everything exactly as it is before the waking world comes crashing back in to shatter the dreamlike state. The quote seems to imply that it is better to wake up from a dream than to remain in a dream.
