To me this song is about wanting something or someone and the only time you can actually be with them is when you are dreaming and when you wake up in the morning you realize you are not with them but you never give up trying to be with them...keeping the dream alive. And the no stranger to this place bit makes me think that this person has been going through this for quite some time that they are almost used to it but not willing to accept that things may be different someday.
