Dreams are life's way of trolling you with improbable fiction.

Ah, dreams—the cheeky little bedtime stories our brains concoct to remind us that reality is just a dreary sequel. While you're snoozing, your mind's busy serving up tantalising tales of grandeur where you finally become the rock star-slash-astronaut-slash-ninja you were always meant to be. Then you wake up to find yourself back in your beige cubicle, wondering whether the copier has finally gone on strike.

This quote delivers its punch by equating dreams to an elaborate cosmic jest—those silly narratives we spin at night only emphasise how spectacularly mundane daytime life can be. It's as if your subconscious is nudging you with a knowing wink and whispering, "Wouldn’t life be grand if even half of this fiction were true?" Meanwhile, you're left grappling with the existential whiplash between fantasy and the cruel light of day.
