Esenthiel's right. This song is entirely about experiencing a lucid dream. All the lyrics refer to it. In short, lucid dreaming is when you realize, within your own dream, that you are dreaming. When that happens, you can literally take control of your own dream and do with it what you want. I've experienced a few of these myself, although I don't study it as much as most people. It's quite an interesting experience. Within a dream, you can literally do whatever you want. "The walls you built within come tumbling down and a new world will begin."
@KresentPhresh Essentially that is true, but not always. I have experienced lucid dreaming in several forms and in most you can control it, but in others you can't.

To further explain what I mean I will share the one case that I have experienced where I had no control over it and what a hell the experience was.
I do not remember much more than the events themselves but they are the important bits too.
To put it short, in my dream I was fighting someone (don't remember who) overlooking some the sea in some ruins. I was actually losing in the beginning before I entered the state of lucid dreaming and realized that I was dreaming.
As you would expect, I did take control at first and right before I woke I actually held that person down with a knife to their throat. Seeing the situation for what it was, I was actually about to end it, but I couldn't. I am in no way programmed to kill, even in self defense, so I dropped the knife, began to cry (in my dream) just watching as this other person picked up the knife and came at me.
Knowing it was a dream didn't matter much at this point, that the person I was fighting wasn't real didn't matter either.
In the end I was killed and woke up in what has so far been the worst nightmare in my life. I was traumatized by my own self and was crying for a long time after that. Even to this day, thinking about it, I still end up feeling just as I did then and do not understand just what happened.
But it is true that lucid dreaming do (I believe) in most cases just bring about the chance to create a sort of personal paradise or a chance to live a life as you want to. It's the times that your own personality, throughts, morals and ethics fail you that you end up in the nightmares.
