Why Bother To Wake Up?

If dreams are really so surreal and exciting in comparison to “real” life, why can’t people live in dreams? People can just sleep and never wake up, dreaming for all eternity. After all, what perk is there to actually living life? Is it because life is “real”? That doesn’t sound like a terribly good excuse. There can be no such thing as running away from reality since reality is merely a consensus on what is real and what isn’t. There isn’t really a fixed definition of what is “real”. Perhaps there will come a time when people just go to sleep, dream and keep on dreaming, never to wake. And I do not speak of death.
