He's in a coma.

I wish life were like a dream, and that I'd never wake up
There's always excitement, even if it's frightening
It's a delight, to experience the unreal
to do what you want, whatever you feel
No consequences, just actions
In a dream I can be who I want, go where I please
In a dream I can be with who I want, erase who I please
There world is mine to control, I can do what I want
If life were like a dream, I'd never wake up
