Summary

This quote suggests that the difference between what is perceived as real and what is deemed a dream is merely a matter of perspective. While something seen by many may be considered real, it may lack significance or substance.

It encourages us to question the conventional notions of reality, as something that is collectively acknowledged may not necessarily possess true meaning, while individual experiences can be enlightening and carry great depths of truth.
