No, they pretty clearly stated that some clients, not wanting to deal with being future-shocked, opt for the "Lucid Dream" upon resuscitation instead of (or in preparation for) walking out into a confusing new world where everyone they know and love is dead.
So, basically, it goes like this:
1. Aames signs a contract with LE, which includes "Lucid Dream" service.
2. Aames commits suicide; per his contract, LE gets custody of his corpse.
3. LE puts the corpse into cryonic storage.
4. 150 years pass
5. LE's successors resuscitate Aames, but before he awakens, puts him into the "Lucid Dream" virtual reality/dream-world
6. Aames's subconscious makes a mess of it
7. Aames chooses to leave the dream, and wakes up into the future.
