Summary

This quote, from William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," reflects the confusion and uncertainty of reality. The speaker questions whether they are truly awake or still caught in a dreamlike state.

The quote highlights the subjective nature of experience and the fleeting nature of certainty in a world where dreams can often feel more vivid and real than reality itself.
