What does this quote mean?

Question:It's from apocalypse now:
"I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving."

Why does he say this?

Answers:
It pretty much means the same thing as the quote that gave the book "The Razor's Edge" it's title.

"The path to Salvation is as narrow and as difficult to walk as a razor's edge."

Not much room for error in either quote, is there? One mistake and it's 'game over'.
To live, to survive, to thrive: in the face of danger, in the face of death. Thrill seekers challenge to themselves: to crawl, slither, along the edge of a razor and survive. Isn't all of life the edge of a razor, after all, planning only works to a certain degree.
