Hello Pluto

One possible meaning would be: "I dreamed I could lead my life in many new and different ways. But when I awoke, I simply resumed my normal life."

All the best,

MrP

This is the difference between reality and dream or imagination. In dreams we break away from the deadly routines and uncountable ways loom ahead. The gap between the two is big indeed but at least in our dreams there is some hope.
