To awaken from a dream is to face reality again. Waking from a nightmare doesn't seem to give the sense of appreciation and safety because we are not endangered perpetually. But waking from a beautiful dream, especially when your life sucks; you just want to get back in bed and dream again.
Imagine a world where we fight daily for our existence. Perhaps creatures of darkness and nightmares and the ones that we can't even have nightmare about lurking the earth, where everyone is in danger. Or even just living in the forest, everyday bringing something unknown. People would value people more.
Maybe it's fanatical to think of this, living with Death himself behind your shoulder. But maybe you don't know what it's like to feel pure solitude, that you're the only one of your kind in the whole world.
The real question isn't what would you do if you were going to die tomorrow.
It's if you die right now, would it matter?
