What it sounds like
Colin should wake up from sleep.
What it really means
“He needs to stop romanticizing the past and face reality instead of acting on immature fantasies.”
Said today
“Stop living in a fantasy and deal with what’s actually happening.”
What was happening
Marina has just called Colin a boy caught up in his own fantasies and explained that she has built a practical life with Sir Philip. “Wake up” dismisses his hope that she might want to revisit their past.
