There is that moment when you first wake up and your dreams are still hovering like a fine mist in the air. For a tiny fragment of time you feel as though you could choose to live in either reality. In fact, in those seconds, as the dream replays in your mind, still so fresh, it seems more real, and this world seems unreal and fuzzy. I want to make the choice to go back to the dream, to live there. . Kitty Thomas
About This Quote

In the opening paragraph of "The Stars My Destination," a character wakes up in a space ship on a distant planet, and for a few seconds he has the choice to live in either reality. It's not the same as having the choice of whether to wake up or not, but it's something like it. The best day of your life is one when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed and still feel like you can choose to live in either reality.
