You have to get up! You have to get to the factory!.” He never got the opportunity to explore life back in his hometown. As he quotes, if someone wakes him up from his dream, he would say, “Noooo! Why did you wake me up?” Thus wants to be undisturbed while he sleeps because that’s the only possible time wherein he can explore the life that he never got to see.
