Should I try to fly? I keep having dreams that I can

[New Earth]

but these are like nonstop for the past couple nights. i have dreams where i jump up and if i concentrate hard enough, i can keep myself in the air and start flying. i think last night i picked someone up and was carrying them with me. it felt so real. i wanna try it so bad but that would be like jumping off a building and thinking i'm gonna fly and then WHOOPS......not a good idea :shrug:

1. Make sure that if you try, you're over a soft surface

Jumping over your bed, for example.

3. lol

good idea. dammit, i wish it was real :(

2. Please keep your feet on the ground!

Maybe it was symbolic of intellectual flying...and when you picked up someone else, it meant you shared what you'd learned.

[New Earth]

4. that could be it

maybe i got someone to start saying election fraud instead of voter fraud.....or maybe i got someone to finally listen to VNV Nation :shrug: :bounce:

5. Maybe you'll be the one to break how

Jimmy-Jeff got a press pass!

[merh]

6. Why not just see where your "dream flying" takes you.

Tonight, when you dream, don't settle for around the house, go out a window and fly to some exotic place.

If you try it in a conscious state, be sure you have a soft place to land.

Good luck and happy flying! :hi:

8. actually last nite it was outside i think

not just in the house. last night was the icing on the cake - carrying someone and being outside :o

7. That's one of the signs of a lucid dream.

Next time your flying just go "Hey I'm dreaming" After that your in the drivers seat. Enjoy.

[New Earth]

10. i think i have done that before

for some reason though, when i do that, i end up in a light sleep and i'm basically making up what happens. is that what lucid dreaming is?

[Swede]

12. Kinda.

But the dreams can been intense.

9. No, but ride music instead ...

"A ghost of aviation
She was swallowed by the sky
Or by the sea
Like me,
She had a dream to fly...

Like Icarus ascending
On beautiful, foolish arms
O Amelia,
It was just a false alarm..."

--Joni Mitchell, "Amelia"

11. I can fly in most of my dreams.

Then again, I recently had a dream where I was taking a flight to Tampa with the Three Stooges, along with all of their wives. I'm still trying to figure that one out.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Um, not if you saw the last episode of CSI. That guy thought he could

fly too. ;) :hi:

[New Earth]

14. what happened to him?

:scared:

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. He fell headfirst off his balcony and broke his neck. And then his

wife came home and found him still alive...but she didn't like him because he was a rat bastard with an odd baby fetish, so she stood there and watched him die. :hi:

[New Earth]

16. ouch

well fortunately i'm in a better situation....but i think i'll try the jumping on the bed idea :think: :hi:

[mahina]

17. I have those dreams a lot too, they are my favorite!

If you concentrate you can go higher, and direct where you go. I absolutely love them.
I understand it's good luck too :)
Hey you should rent "Waking Life", check it out! Wow...
Anyway see you in the clouds :)

[New Earth]

18. the weird thing is

i have had them ALL my life. :shrug:

19. I had the same dream once a long time ago

I wrote a poem about it the next day.

A Special Dream

I had a special dream last night--
I dreamed that I could fly
away, beyond the floating clouds--
I danced up in the sky.

The treetops were my stepping stones
to reach the summer air
so clear, so warm and sparkling blue!
I wish I was still there.

My dream was very real to me--
I thought of it all day.
I want to go back to my sky--
I wish there were a way!

To fly; to fly just like a bird!
To laugh at gravity!
It tasted sweet up in the sky--
like summer wine to me.

I had a special dream last night--
I dreamed that I could be
above the mountains; with the stars!
I flew, and I was free!

20. aww!

that's how i felt. i didn't want to leave, and it felt so real....so real that i have seriously been thinking today how i could try it. LOL. The thing is, i have these dreams all the time, and a certain special mysterious person once told me i could fly. :shrug:

[merh]

21. Check out this site Faye

http://healthfitness.com.au/articles/sleep/flying_dreams.htm

"If you are able to contribute another style of dreaming flight I would be interested to hear from you, so please drop me an email. [e-mail] .

Whatever the flying dream, the timing of the dream is likely to signify mental recovery and the realization of a learning experience. They usually follow episodes of depression or intense periods in your life. Even when the dream flight is to escape danger it shows that your psychological state is on the way up, you have found a solution and you are dealing with a change in yourself or a change in your life!. It is all good!"

Have your flying dreams reoccurred since your got your job? If so, according to this article, you have had a mental recovery and that makes sense, doesn't it?

22. if that is the case for me right now

i think it has to do with my job. i have never felt this way about a job or company before and i am THIS close to being hired permanently (this all happened before with this company but the CFO was being an ass). I now have all the managers on my side, which i didn't last time - and it just feels so different - i always felt like i belonged there and every temp job i had since then just didn't compare. and it's not just about getting the job at this company, but about finally having a steady job with steady money and being able to pay all my bills off and be stable, which i haven't really been in over a year.

i literally used to have dreams about going back to this place!!! so maybe that is it.....hmmmmm

23. Well, why not... see that window over there?

Just kidding - I had flying dreams during my childhood. I could even fly through walls, long before dead people walked through walls on film in "Ghost".

[cestpaspossible]

25. No. Don't try to fly. Fly.

[New Earth]

26. awesome

sounds like Yoda-style. i seriously might try it tomorrow or something, just around the house. LOL then i can come back to the lounge and tell everyone that i'm an idiot (yes, i am blonde too)

[all.of.me]

27. if you fly in your dreams...

...it means you are not grounded right now. your head is in the sky, far from reality. that's the jungian approach, anyway.
