It inspired that kind of "film noir" treatment...

I imagined that Clark had been having restless dreams... and is startled awake to find Lois watching him... something brought her to him... perhaps she was acting on similar feelings... or is he just having a lucid dream...

One could imagine all kinds of scenarios... and I guess that's the point.
