Summary

This quote suggests that both dreaming and waking states are subjective experiences, and it questions the notion of one being better than the other. It implies that while one person may be awake and actively living their life, another person may still be dreaming, and there is speculation on who is truly fortunate. Ultimately, it highlights the subjectivity of happiness and fulfillment and encourages contemplation on the nature of reality and personal perspective.
