I guess it’s subjective. The underlying crux of the “matrix” films- would one prefer to live in a more pleasant state of delusion or face a less pleasant reality? Really though, we don’t have to wait ten years or suppose- many people do dream, so in that sense, to find yourself in this hypothetical is not so different from waking up from a pleasant dream. We can take it a step further and not need the delusions or dreams. You can work 10,20,40 years or more and acquire all these things and have them shattered in reality. A poorly timed recession, war comes to your doorstep, a crime, an accident, a natural disaster, betrayal of trust by those close; many more things or some “perfect storm” of all or some of these things together. In a moment- you can find your entire life blown apart, your most required things taken. Most people who live long enough and aren’t terribly privileged/lucky will have this happen at least once in life…

… so I mean- it can be a fun premise like many “campfire stories,” but it really isn’t so deep or novel. It’s something many have essentially experienced in one form or another, and in the end- like so many things in life, things are good and then they aren’t. Things come and then they pass. Wether “real” or otherwise- seasons change and we grow old. Loves come into our lives and someday leave them. We dream and then we wake up. That’s true of “bad” things too. They come and go.
