this is really bugging me :(
the way I'd interpret sentences like this is:
"the event (whatever it may be) is better than chocolate,
but this statement is true only at those times when one
dreams perfectly"
jInaj. vaj qaja'laH <<wanI'vam Dun law', yuch Dun puS.>>
I have dreamt/I dreamed. Therefore I can tell you:
"This is greater than chocolate."
