Can I say "awaken me from my naive view"?

Question

I found out that the same product tended to mean different things for different people. For one person, a lipstick brought confidence. For another, it was just a simple pigment. This experience *awakened me from my naïve view* that the lipstick of itself reignited my cousin’s passion for life. （Rather，？）It was the idea that she accepted from that advertisement of Maybeline that gave her inner strength. I have heard the expression like "awaken me from my dream/ dogmatic dream", but I am not sure whether one can say "awaken from a naive view" or "...from a dogmatism". Is this analogy comprehensible?

Answer 1

This is a mixed metaphor, so I would encourage against it. Do you generally wake up from a view? Do views put you to sleep? If you want to use the metaphor of waking up to something, that something should be something you wake up from: slumber, sleep, dreams, a coma. If you want to use "view" the first part of your sentence should refer to vision. For example, you could say it "opened my eyes."
