We’re also excellent marksman. If you sharpen a particularly straight stick, you can throw it at your dreams from a distance, hopefully wounding your dreams.

    And if possible, aim to pierce the lungs of your dreams, not the bowels. And be especially careful not to puncture the bladder or you will spoil the dream meat. Easy mistakes to make when field-dressing your dreams.

    I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going, and hook up with them later.

    That’s actually brilliant advice.

    I tried this, but I got tired and had to lie down.

    "Humans are persistence predators"

    So... The definition of persistence predator is that we keep chasing.

    "Don't chase your dreams"

    I'm sorry, I'm confused now

    Stalk your dreams. Haunt your dreams' nightmares. Exhaust your dreams, then brain them with a big rock.

    Technically that's still chasing, it's just chasing in the terminator walk sense rather than the cheetah run sense
