Dreams and visions are almost never to be interpreted literally. Peter's vision in Acts 10 was no exception. The four corners of the sheets are mentioned prominently to emphasize men from ALL directions, like the four corners of the world and the four corners with tzitziyot (tassels). Note that there are both clean and unclean animals in the sheet. The animals came down from heaven because all men--regardless of their birth, faith, or behavior--are made by God in his image.
Seven years after the resurrection, no one ever told Peter that it was ok to eat pigs. Peter's vision didn't say "I made unclean animals clean." It was only about men, not animals!
In real life, sheaves and stars don't bow to each other, cows don't eat cows, grain doesn't eat grain. (Genesis 41:1-7) Nor does God command people to sin.

Misery loves company is a common English saying that originates from a fourteenth century literary work by Dominick de Gravina. Basically it infers that people who are miserable are more comfortable around others who are just as sad as they and often their misery is a result of having no hope. While we may think we should cheer them up, that isn’t possible until they choose to change their outlook. Instead we should offer them the example of hope. Even Yeshua/Jesus would tell someone to get up and walk (John 5) he didn’t lift the person because it was up to that person to stand on their own.
