> What exactly is the dream of the Griffins?

Likely most griffins dream of guarding their nests made of gold:

"As when a Gryphon through the wilderness
With winged course, o'er hill and moory dale,
Pursues the Arimaspian, who by stealth
Had from his wakeful custody purloined
The guarded gold,"  (Milton, Paradise Lost, Book II)

...
or early human reaction to and area rich in exposed fossil beds,
where lion-sized beaked fossil animals were commonplace, in a gold
rich area where ants were prone to excavate granular gold from the
ground leaving it in their mounds ... add normal human imagination
and a enduring symbol is born (g)
