I always hear that Heaven is beyond what I can imagine and that Hell isn't how humans stereotypically describe it. Heaven is not drifting around on clouds of white playing a lap harp, nor is Hell burning fires and chains. I have also heard that Heaven is being with God all the time and Hell is never being able to reach Him. Now I obviously have no idea what they are really like, but I think that Heaven will be pure happiness and Hell will be pure misery. I don't have either in their purest form right now, but here is what I think they may feel like (and I mean this in the least blasphemous way possible).
Heaven will be like...falling in love under a perpetual sunset (I like sunsets better than sunrises)...that fully rested feeling that one only wakes up with once every few years...a shopping spree with all your best friends...perfectly, incandescently happy...free ice cream...the longest string of snow days EVER...the gingerbread house from Hansel and Gretel, but without the witch...unicorns, nymphs, and Toothless...a peaceful walk through a quiet wood in 72.5 degree weather...duck crossings (some people may not agree with me on this one, but they just don't understand)...bubble wrap all the time...a fresh blanket of snow that will always seem untrodden no matter how we walk in it...double rainbow...suffused with the love that I feel for my family, except towards everyone.
Hell will be like
climbing up an endless staircase
organic chemistry exams (actually, maybe this is misery in its purest form)
the betrayal of your best friend
underestimating your size, then going up a size only to find it's still too small
durian...everywhere...
being covered in mosquito bites, or chicken pox
finding out that Santa Claus doesn't exist
laying in bed about to fall asleep then remembering that you need to do something important and knowing you will forget if you don't do it immediately
no more ducks :(
Okay, so I know my Hell list is shorter, but it's just much nicer to contemplate Heaven. :)
The average person has over 1,460 dreams a year.

your heaven sounds like the brief/transient moments of happiness people experience and want to hold on to for a longer time but cannot in this world.
