“There are moments when reality exceeds my wildest dreams. Usually, it is followed by extreme regret.”
— Neil Gaiman

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, life gives us experiences that are even better than what we could have imagined. For example, winning the lottery unexpectedly or getting a job you've always wanted can feel like a dream come true. However, these amazing moments can sometimes lead to disappointment afterwards. Perhaps, someone who wins the lottery might end up regretting it because they lose friends or face new problems they didn't expect. Or, someone who gets their dream job might later find it too stressful and wish they had chosen something else. It's like when you eat too much candy and then feel sick afterwards. Great moments are wonderful, but it's important to be prepared for the not-so-great consequences that might follow.
