Sometimes it is best to limit
our dreams to sandwiches.
Today I eat my dream sandwich.
Exactly what I asked for.
Exactly how I like it.
I am satisfied.
Could I be MORE satisfied?
Yes,
if I had some fries with that.
Served in
a quaint seaside restaurant.
Fulfilled dreams
always demand something more,
unattainable in this moment.
And so it is best to limit
our dreams to sandwiches.

The dream sandwich represents a desire or a goal that is within reach and easily achievable. It symbolizes the idea that sometimes, it is best to focus on the present moment and the tangible things we can enjoy and appreciate. By limiting our dreams to things that are attainable, we avoid the trap of constantly yearning for something more or unattainable, which can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction and longing.
In the poem, the speaker finds satisfaction in eating their dream sandwich, exactly how they like it. They are content with what they have, but there is also a hint of a desire for something more, represented by the desire for fries with the sandwich. This desire for something additional reflects the human tendency to always want more, even when we already have something that brings us joy and satisfaction.
By recognizing the limitations of our dreams and focusing on the simple pleasures of life, we can find contentment in the present moment and avoid getting lost in the pursuit of unattainable goals. It is a reminder to be grateful for what we have and to savor the small joys in life.
