Was that necessary to dream ?
Couldn't you think about it ?
+ IMO , when people find their heaven on this side come to think like this. This is just a start of a challenge.
The obvious difference is that heaven is pure. It is some place where your souls calls you to go.
It involves charity , patience , humility , sacrifice , helping , resistance. Heaven are the things we do.

Heaven is not just about eating and other pleasures.
All the good heavenly things you do will be the price. When you help a poor man , when you love your mother , when you thank the one who has helped you , you can feel the heaven.
It is like a state.
Food is some thing to encourage people to make their actions better to feel the heaven.
If you let your conscious stay alive , he will tell you where you are.
It is quite cumulative state.

Basically said, the notion of heaven is a state of mindless indulgence. Paradise? Eternal bliss? That means your senses must always be pleased in such a place. You might be figuring this out subconsciously. Hopefully you conclude that some causes and promises are not worth the reward of endless pleasure, but rather that you should stand up for what you think is true, even at the threat of hell and eternal torment if disobeyed...
