Best Answer

There's a plot twist that you might have missed.

After the club night where David passes out on the street, he goes and signs a contract with the company Life Extension to be frozen after his death. That is revealed later (full synopsis here) when:

The Support Technician explains that the Lucid Dream was "spliced" into his memories at the point where he passed out on the sidewalk after his night out with Sofia and Brian.

So he committed suicide but that doesn't mean he permanently died - he would need to be alive to be kept in the cryogenic suspension. An emergency rescue team probably applied first aid procedures and brought him back to life before freezing him.

What does David choose at the end of Vanilla Sky?

David chooses to wake up in the real world and live a real life. Edmund asks if he has any last wishes. David asks to meet with Sofia (by asking the technicians to read his mind). Sofia appears and David pledges his love for her one last time.

What happens after David wakes up in Vanilla Sky?

Lastly. Tech Support says that David opted for the \u201csplice\u201d to occur when he woke up the morning after the club scene. That means that everything after that morning is part of the lucid dream. Except we know that in real life David never murdered Sofia.
