- If someone would let their dream rot like meat, they’d have to lose all faith and hope, letting their dream go to waste like it was nothing.
- If a dream was to sag like a heavy load, it would slow the person down into thinking more about the dream, instead of working on trying to make the dream come true.
- When a dream doesn’t come true, one can become too stressed and mentally and emotionally explode, leading to an act of self-harm or something one would regret.
