I had a dream that I was awake and I woke up to find myself asleep.
What happened when you woke up?" "I was having a dream. I don’t know what it was, but when I woke up, I had this awful realization that I was awake. It hit me like a brick in the groin." "Like a brick in the groin, I see." "I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad.

"Yes.
Most people dream a dream when they are asleep. But to be a writer, you have to dream while you are awake, intentionally.

The next day, the dream will continue.

You're going to forget this in a minute - you know, like you do when you've had a dream.

Because waking I often observe the absurdity of dreams, but never dream of the absurdities of my waking thoughts, I am well satisfied that being awake, I know I dream not; though when I dream, I think myself awake.
You have to dream intentionally. Most people dream a dream when they are asleep. But to be a writer, you have to dream while you are awake, intentionally.
