Summary

This quote suggests that dreams, while they may only exist in our minds while we sleep, hold a sense of reality in the moments we experience them. It questions whether the same can be said about life itself, implying that the fleeting nature of dreams raises doubts about the nature of reality in our waking lives. It encourages introspection about the impermanence of our own existence and the validity of our experiences.
