Dovid HaMelech, the soul of the Jewish Nation, characterized our era as בשוב ה' את שיבת ציון היינו כחולמים, that as Hashem returns the captives of Zion we are like dreamers. This is not just a dream of Exile - the two millennial dream of returning to the Holy Land and rebuild the Holy Temple. Even in the time of Redemption, as Hashem is returning the captives, we are in a dream-like state. We continue to face the amazing future only as if in a dream even though it is already actually coming.
"We were like dreamers." At times we are witness to events that are so awesome, so incomprehensible, that they confuse the mind that refuses to believe and thinks that it is dreaming. They are not experiencing reality. The prophet stands and shouts, "Awake and sing, you who dwell in the earth!" Get up and welcome the Light. Heighten your consciousnesses. Fill yourselves with strength and skill. You need to fully participate in these events. You need to awaken below and enhance your ability to grasp events, so that you can actualize then great Light that is being sown in these times.
