Flying

[Superstar]

I've had that one, too. Quite often. Always in a sitting position, legs straight out in front, flying feet first.

How do you fly?

That is the exact same way I flew as a child... sitting down, legs straight out in front of me, feet first. I was never able to achieve much height though, I just kind of skimmed along about five to ten feet above the ground.

As an adult, all my flying dreams involve some sort of assistance, ie: a plane, a helicopter and once a bizarre floating air mattress.

Apparently it's caused by sleep apnea when you stop breathing for a bit. It's common with kids, in my deams I had to hold my breath and flap my arms!

I used to have flying dreams a lot when I was a child. I could somehow "will" myself into the air and get quite high, well above the rooftops. It was always in my local neighbourhood, too. I can't recall whether I ever learned to land but I remember that I didn't always have complete control and I would sometimes swoop down and have to do a whole lot of "willing" to get myself back up.

Apart from that, they were pleasant dreams and they were also rational in the sense that people on the ground would be amazed that I could fly unaided. I know that I often used to wake up laughing at them.

I've had quite a few dreams where I try to fly but I kind of take off then hit the floor. If I had one wish it would be to fly! Must be telling myself in my dreams it's never gonna happen!

I love flying dreams. I think they're usually about trying to get away from everything.
