Haruki MurakamiIf only I could fallsound asleep and wake up in my old reality!
About This Quote
The dream world of being a famous person is a wonderful place. While there, you have a great job, a beautiful girlfriend or boyfriend and a fabulous house. You might even have a swimming pool, all the cars you could ever want and more! However, as soon as you return to reality, all those things disappear. In fact, they don’t just disappear – they fade away as if they never existed in the first place.
You find that your life is now completely different from the one you had before. It’s as if you had been living under a rock for the past ten years and were only alerted to the point by some strange person who had been watching your movements! That is what happens when we resort to the unreal world of the dream world and fail to wake up from it.
