Well, I've never heard that before. My first that is that dream is meant to be equivalent to aspirations. Cliché Ex. - "I'm only hooking till I can start my own salon." For someone to go that distance is a long way, in terms of lifestyle. It sounds like a rather dark sentiment being expressed. I suppose not though, if you don't have any sympathy for prostitutes.
As for alternatives, the only one I hear regularly is "long as a country mile." Which is more of a pun on the way folks who are used to wide open country reckon distance.
