It's interesting how childhood dreams often shift over time. Many people start with a specific aspiration, shaped by their passions or influences, only to discover new passions and opportunities as they grow. This quote highlights the fluidity of aspirations and reminds us not to be too rigid about our childhood ambitions. The possibility that someone once dreamed of being a baseball player but ended up a radio DJ underscores how our paths can evolve unexpectedly, yet each journey holds its own value and fulfillment.

Maybe that'd make you feel better too. — David Mitchell

I dreamt that I took William Burrough's penis and tied it up with piano wire. I hung him like a Chagall painting…In the next part J.G. Ballard swam through streets of female urine. The girls read his book Crash and then mowed him down with their Volkswagen, crushing his chest slowly against a brick wall. As he screamed in agony larger than representation can accommodate, they referred to his text and had orgasms. Later, they jumped up and down yelling, 'You're not a hero. You're not a hero. You're not. You're not. You're not.'

The giant raised his fist, and a voice cut through the dream. Leo! Jason was shaking his shoulder. Hey, man, why are you hugging Nike? Leo's eyes fluttered open. His arms were wrapped around the human-sized statue in Athena's hand. He must have been thrashing in his sleep. He clung to the victory goddess like he used to cling to his pillow when he had nightmares as a kid. {Man, that had been so embarrassing in the foster homes.} He disentangled himself and sat up, rubbing his face. Nothing, he muttered. we were just cuddling. Um, what's going on? — Rick Riordan The House of...
