If we were all-powerful creators, wouldn’t it be possible that—after consistently dreaming ourselves into idyllic and thrilling lives—we’d push the limits of our power? Maybe we’d dream up lives where we forgot that we were all-powerful, and force ourselves to go through the incomparable experience of rediscovering that power.

Can you please remove that “If” from your first sentence because ‘we were all-powerful creators’ and we are gods in our own right… 🙂
Similar to the Matrix, right? Humans were bored by a pleasant existence, according to Mr. Smith, and needed the violent virtual existence we know in order to endure. Or am I getting that wrong?
Good point!
Personally I go with the quote from the Film Shape of Things to Come:
“But for Man, no rest and no ending. He must go on, conquest beyond conquest. First this little planet with its winds and ways, and then all the laws of mind and matter that restrain him. Then the planets about him and at last out across immensity to the stars. And when he has conquered all the deeps of space and all the mysteries of time, still he will be beginning.”
Choose your own inspiration, I guess; they’re both provocative (in the good way)
