Matt, some cultures believe that what we experience whilst 'awake' is actually a dream and what we 'dream' is the true reality.
I hear two songs in my head while reading your post
one by Eliphalet Oram Lyte, (and he may be right?)
'Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.'
also i hear roy orbisons 'In Dreams'
