I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams. (Hamlet, II.ii)

Let me guess. You're comparing yourself to Hamlet now. You have so much in common with one of history's most conflicted and disturbed literary characters. Just like you totally understand Tom Hanks' pain in "Philadelphia"...
This statement comes shortly after Hamlet tells Guildenstern and Rosencrantz that Denmark (along with the rest of the world) is a prison.
I always took it to mean 'imprisonment would be ok if I were oblivious. but I'm not. so it sucks.'
extra credit: Hamlet E-Text and Guildenstern and Rosencrantz are dead
It means that although you are imprisoned, whether literally or figuratively, you are free to feign yourself a transcendental king of time and space with the understanding that you will periodically awake to find yourself a prisoner.
