I was always too busy being gobsmacked at the complexity of the special effect you are looking at. The reflection is constructed and 'wrapped' onto Morpheus' excellent glasses. If it was real and untouched footage, you would see a camera and the crew, not too mention the angles would look a little off due to the shooting angle.
Sheer genius.
Back on topic though, I'd never read anything into it as Neo wants to wake up and goes for the red pill.
