If that’s the same criteria you use for looking for that someone, and you proceed with an open and courageous heart: it won’t be a dream.
And I would say that we have general artistic conventions of depicting elements the previous commentor suggested: smell lines, meat in teeth, etc… Their absence from the scene leads me to believe the commentor’s interpretation is far from the artist’s intentions.
I appreciate the heartfelt advice but I’m mostly just riffing.
My real problem is that staying home and playing video games is less work and more immediately gratifying than getting out and trying to meet someone, but I recognize that complaining about that just means I’m trying to have my cake and eat it too.
Wouldn’t it be eat your cake and still have it? Typically you have cake before you eat it, but you don’t have cake after you eat it. So the eating would go first in the sentence, right? Unless the saying is that you want to have your cake after eating it. Either way you gotta use a word that implies the directional flow of time, because technically you do have cake for most of the duration that you’re eating it.
The idiom is generally phrased “have your cake and eat it too” but yeah that’s rather confusing. The way you said it is how I actually understand it in my head.
I think the way English Common has evolved doesn’t help either, because “to have” is now synonymous with “to eat” in the context of food, but I don’t think it was that way when the idiom was coined. It’s actually about 500 years old according to Wikipedia.

She doesn’t love you, you’re the first thing she could grab with a heart beat and two legs
Beggars can’t be choosers.
Not true! She ate a monkey yesterday. …and she grabbed it before she ate it.
Why is your dream a tiny filthy goblin? You can do better.
