Dreams of flying??

[Shy Tall Guy]

When you dream of flying, what kind is it?

Do you jump off a high place and soar through the air?

Do you flap your arms and rise off the ground?

Do you run real fast and take off with your arms out?

Is it windy and you spread your arms/wings and float off like a kite?

Do you lift your feet and just float down an incline, gaining speed as you go?

I have dreamed all of the above, with flying like a kite and gliding down an a hill being the most common. Last night I dreamed twice of gliding down an incline. The first was down a long meadow decline near my family farm, gaining speed but staying near the ground - then suddenly coming to the end of the meadow which had a steep drop off into a deep canyon. I fell faster and faster, and then it turned into sky diving, with other sky divers around me. Finally as I neared the ground I popped my chute and floated out into the center of the valley floor to land right in the middle of the target zone.

The second dream I was at a motorcycle rally, and to get back to my campsite I just raised my feet and started gliding down a slingt hill, finally coming to tents and campsites where, with the speed I had picked up, I could rise above them, converting my speed into altitude. It came to an end when I needed to go up a side hill and didn't have enough speed to continue.

In dreams I often jump down or glide down whole flights of stairs as if gravity only slightly applied to me. I always look around at people expecting them to be aghast at my ability to defy gravity, even just a little bit.

I guess I like being near the ground, just a little off it, to get the sensation of speed - that is probably why I like motorcycling; it is the closest thing I know to flying while still staying on the ground.

Can you tell I am in a good mood today?

I have dreamed of flying like its floating. On a few occasions, I have fell. I hate waking up doing that. I practically jump off the bed, and flail all around.

I did that once in school. 8th grade english class. I hated the class, hated the teacher. I laid my head down on my arms on the desk, and before I knew it, fell asleep. Well, I woke up, thinking I was falling. My arms went flying out to the sides, and I jumped, sending my stack of school books flying as well.

Everyone got a good laugh from that.

I dream that I'm flying through clouds to my favorite classical pieces. Sort-of a Fantasia-like experience, with abstract shapes and such flying around me.


What's got you in such high spirits STG?

I have had dreams where I died and went to heaven, and others where I hear music, especially while flying, even some where I am singing (in my dreams I can actually sing! - vs. RL life where you really don't want to hear me).

What's got you in such high spirits STG?

Someone went on a pick-a-nick with me yesterday!

Nope, never dream of flying. But last night I had a scary dream where my dad wore a Yankees cap. Very scary. *gets willies*

Also my dreams tend to make as much sense as I do, which, sadly, isn't much.

I love flying dreams!!!

Usually when I'm flying though, I'm either being chased. Flying is my means to escape. Or I'm chasing someone where flying beats running. It's faster. lol

When I dream of flying it is usually gliding. Sometimes, I am an eagle.....

Silly imagery, but true!

Very rarely do I have dreams of flying. As a matter of fact, I believe I've only had a few.

But when I do dream of flying, I'm already in flight, and I must tell ya, it feels wonderful. Soaring over buildings, people, and the like. I never land though, no matter how hard I try.

My flying dreams are like that ..... being chased .... kind of panicy ... then when I think I'm not gonna be able to get away I just lift off and fly.

My other strange dream is .. don't laugh .... walking on my hands. I'm in the mall or at work and I realize "Hey, I'm walking on my hands".

Then there is the infamous naked at work or school dream. Every one has that dream ..... right? ..... please tell me everyone does ....

Man, what an interesting thread. I seem to remember having several flying dreams but only one really sticks in my mind.

I could fly, but only about 4-6 feet off of the ground. It was really more like being weightless as I could flail about and not really affect my flight path.......every so often I would get a toe on the ground and send myself off in another direction....only if i strained like HELL could I actually alter my direction or speed in the air. It was extremely frustrating, something similar to the "running through waist-high mud" feeling you get in dreams when trying to run from danger.

I had a re-occuring dream for a week when I was younger. I would jump from this helicopter and free-fall about 1500 feet and just crash into the ground.... This is weird becuase you always wake up before you hit the ground in dreams. In this case i would get up and dust off.. I loved it. The imnpact was like an orgasm and I kept doing it over and over.
The strange part was that every time I'd jump, I'd inch closer to the shore ( I lived in Galveston TX at the time, right on the coast). Sometimes i would even swing out over the ocean and then crash back towards land by using my body like an airfoil the way a skydiver does.
The last time I ever had the dream I fell into the water and never made it back to shore..... it's still one of my most interesting dreams.
