It's really complicated you have to watch it twice to figure it out. Basically this guy gets into a car accident and his face is disfigured. He meets a girl who he falls fall but it's not a two way street so he signs up for a program that alters his universe to his liking and get the girl he wants. And then there is a glitch in the technology and he discovers the truth because he did not remember what he signed up for. He realizes the truth, the real world and then choses to live in it.

Tom Cruise plays David Aames, a spoiled, handsome young man who at a young age inherits 51% of his father's publishing company upon his death. The rest of the company is owned by a board of directors that Aames disparagingly calls the "Seven Dwarves." He can have anything his heart desires; nothing is beyond him. Then, one night spent with the woman of his dreams, Sofía (Penelope Cruz), leads to a fateful encounter with one of his previous lovers, Julianna Gianni (Cameron Diaz). An automobile accident leaves him severely disfigured, and on the path to sorting out his life he is arrested for the murder of a woman alleged to be Sofía, though he believes her to be Julie.
Psychologist Curtis McCabe (Kurt Russell), working on David's case, becomes something of a father figure to him, and much of the film is spent as if told from Aames' point of view as he relates his life to McCabe. Yet in his studies of David, a deeper truth seems to be lurking, involving a contract David signed and the dawning realisation that everything may not be what it seems.
During much of the film, the skies are all "vanilla" as in Monet's painting(s) — perhaps a little too much like the painting(s). That is one of the clues that Vanilla Sky is a fantasy film about dreams and simulated reality.
It is eventually revealed that this entire portion of the film has been an extended dream, assembled largely from pop-cultural images; it is also revealed that Dr. McCabe is wholly fictional. This simulated reality is a "lucid dream" facilitated by a cryonics company called "Life Extension" (LE) that has sold Aames something the company calls the "cryonic union of science and entertainment." The subject's body is kept frozen, but his or her mind is left to roam free in a simulated reality that branches from the real life at a certain point (so the subject has no recollection of his death). If something goes wrong with the simulation, the company can send technical support (played by Noah Taylor) to the subject.
In the end, technical support reveals that they have updated the software for their lucid dream and David can be reinserted into the dream with no memory of the nightmare portion, or he can be awakened 150 years after he was frozen and live in the real world with a restored, healthy body. David chooses to be awakened in the future after weighing his options. He does so by jumping off a building, as his life flashes before him, he hits the ground and dies. In the final scene, we hear a female voice say "Open your eyes.", and he does, but it is left up to our imagination what takes place afterwards

Sure. Tom Cruise is talking to Kurt Russell in the present, everything without his mask on is the past. He bought the service that puts the memory of your life that you want in your head. When he got in the accident with Cameron Diaz, he was in a coma and life was crappy up until you see him walk down that alley and fall on the ground, because what they don't show you is him going to the service to basically be relieved of the pain. Then the end is him conquering his fear of heights.
