The first part sounds like maybe it's the "dreaming" part of the poem, but I actually think that it is the reality. "Whisper in the yard and turn the trees all into toys,
Lay there on the ground and turn the dirt into your joy,
From what I see and what I know,
It's all been boring lately so I suggest we trade a question mark in for a maybe,"
I think that is about making what you already have, not what you bought, into something more. Like a child plays in trees and dirt, but it does get boring after awhile. So you begin to let go of it for something more. "time your riddles right and make a point that has no sense,
make sure that you're smiling and the money's been well spent,
Innocence and ignorance it all goes hand in hand,
I'm not sure that I'm right but I hope you'll understand,
I hope that you're still searching for the start that has no end,
and all the plastic people ave now become your friends" Thats when people start to watch you. You cant mess up, you cant fail them. You say what they want to hear, but not necessarily what you think about it. You wear the masks and buy the things that they want to see. You eventually just get so wrapped up in becoming what others want you to be that you are oblivious to whats truly going on. You're just trying to please everyone else.
"Before you start to drift and your soul begins to scream,
I just wanted to tell you that you're only listening to 'A Dream'"
Before you get sucked into the things and completely entrapped, its just a reminder that it's not reality. You are reality, what you do is your dream.
