I didn't want to wake up
From It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini:
"I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare."
"And what is that nightmare, Craig?" "Life." "Life is a nightmare." "Yes."
