Phillipa, this is a reference from the movie "The Matrix". In the movie, life as we know it is really a dream produced by machines to keep us stable and unconscious while they use our bodies for energy. The main character is given the choice to either wake up and live in the real world, which is very harsh and consists of an apocalyptic fight of man against these machines (with the odds against mankind), or to go back to sleep and dream the dream that everything is normal. He is to make his choice by choosing either the blue pill (keep sleeping) or the red pill (wake up). Good movie, you should see it!
