this is the cutest/saddest/best animation i've ever seen.
And it gets you thinking a lot about dreams.

I'm in no condition for discussing or very hard thinking, but that video was surely the cutest thing I've seen in a long time!

It means dreams are sometimes more real to us than reality. We can stage our own dreams as reality, suspending the rules of reality and stuff, but reality gets us in the end. But then again, in the end we don't give a fuck because we're dead. But we lived for that short moment, the last thing we did was we lived, and the price to pay for that privilege is death. On the other hand, if we don't take that step, we don't live, we're the undead dead, always miserable because we don't find ourselves in our lives, which are passing us by.
Freudian lesson: reality is for those who can't bear with their dreams. That Kiwi is a hero, don't mourn him, he didn't die, that's the projection of the spectator. The animation ends at the moment he should wake up, for there is nothing but hard ground waiting for him if he would proceed to dream.
Are we living our dreams? Or are we dreaming our lives? Remember, dreams have their own reality which will always haunt us, we cannot escape it. And reality can sometimes be so fucked up it's more like a bad dream than anything else.

Could maybe be a reference to dying happy as well... As one fella in the comments put it - "that touched me in ways that would put a man in prison" Good find, Yanko!

i knew this would be the right place to post it
Because of the state of mind i had at the time i found that, i just HAD to show it to everyone.
I was feeling really sick and tired of my current life direction, and as lots of people here, my biggest passion and dream was living off music. Although it'd be like one of the possible interpretations for the film: it's gonna be a dream ride, but i'd probably fall flat on my face
and i admit i didn't watch it too much cause i'd probably cry a bit if i did
