Do you ever fly in your dreams?
I don’t mean in an airplane either. I mean, push-off from your feet and start flying places?
If you don’t, or ever haven’t, you are missing something fun.
When I was a kid, I use to have great flying dreams. I would fly from place to place. Jumping from building to building. If I wanted to visit anything, I’d just push-off and go.
I’m not sure when or why, but I told myself it wasn’t real. No matter how awesome and real it felt, it wasn’t real. I haven’t flown in my dream in a long time. I miss it.
I was talking to a couple of people yesterday about flying in their dreams. They both still fly. They both lit up like Christmas trees when I asked them if they have done it. Big smiles and a resounding YES.
Like a guilty little secret we keep our flying experiences to ourselves. It feels so real, we are afraid others will laugh at us. Little do we know that many, many people experience this all the time.
Ask a kid if they ever fly in their dreams and I bet the vast majority say they do. Encourage them to enjoy this time. Encourage them to fly high and visit anything thing they want.
Life is serious enough, don’t take away this awesome experience from any adult, but definitely never take it away from a child.
And if you are like me, hold on to those memories of flying. My hope is, someday I’ll feel that freedom, that awesome sensation of taking off and soaring once again.
Maybe in another post I’ll share my thoughts about why we do this. But for now, I wonder…
Do You Fly in Your Dreams?
~~~till we laugh again~~~
Hi, I received an award and nominated you for a recipient…enjoy your blog always Here is the link for information http://hometogo232.wordpress.com/posts/
Thank you! 😀
I don’t think I’ve ever had a dream about flying. Weird. But for some reason, I often find myself on a vacant cruise ship. Maybe that’s even weirder.
That one is probably more of a release dream. Are you doing anything on it?
It’s usually unpleasant, and I’m searching for my children or something like that. Nice, huh?
Classic release dream. It is fear based of losing those you love. Most people have something similar.
Good to know I’m not a complete oddball. 🙂
I never said that… LOL 😉
🙂
Oh how I wish I could fly in my dreams!! All I ever do is fall! LOL 🙂
A release dream…. Fear of losing control
I’ve never flown but I have a recurring dream (though it’s been awhile) that I can jump really high. Just like Wonder Woman. And that’s pretty cool.
Same thing actually… I use to do that too. It feels cool doesn’t it?
Oh, yes, I fly! Not only do I fly, but in my dream I realize that I have this secret ability, and that others do not. I specifically dream that I want others to learn to fly as well. I fly between trees, over houses, and can see so much countryside. I love those dreams. I know that they come when I am dealing with certain things, but I haven’t put my finger on what exactly it is that triggers them.
Some say that when we fly, we are stepping out of our bodies and exploring other things, other people. Visiting past or future. They are real which is why they feel so real. Our Spirits taking flight…
That is awesome for you!
i didn’t remember until i read this, but i have flown in my dreams and it is an amazing feeling. i haven’t done it in a long long time, but i am looking forward to going to sleep tonight now..lol
You hit it right on the head, it is a wonderful feeling! Happy Flying!
to you too, but now that you just woke me up, i hit the ground…
next time wear a helmet 😉
right a helmet, how could i forget! you’re lucky i didn’t hit you like a hit an alarm clock…LOL
I duck quick… i have a “jumper” at home when I try and wake them up… LOL
did you say you’re a duck? 😀
Quack quack… lol
that’s what i thought!
I have ALWAYS flown up and down stairs in my dreams. It has never stopped, I still do it. Since my children were born, I can also hover. I move my feet in an up/down kind of way and lift off the ground. Steering is done by leaning. Not quite flying, but still cool! 🙂
that is awesome!! I so long to go back to those days!
Sadly, I don’t fly in my dreams. 🙁 But I wish I did! My dreams are almost always about missing a deadline (It’s finals week of college, I’ve not been to class since the first day, but somehow I’ve convinced myself I can read the entire book and cram for the final and still pass it…if only I can find the classroom!).
I like your idea of flying dreams much better!
ya, yours is a fear dream. i use to always dream of forgetting my locker combination…even years after getting out of school.. LOL
I can’t remember ever flying without being in a plane..that wasn’t fun because I always seemed to be going into hydro wires..and then just missing them..and repeated over and over…But flying without a plane…no…but would like to ….Diane
it is a cool feeling… very free
Hey, I fly in real life. With no wires or anything.
I did have a reoccurring dream where I was standing on the grass field by my high school and I kept jumping higher and higher until I was hundreds of feet in the air, and I would come down slowly and do it over and over.
that sounds fun… you must have felt in a great place there since you kept picking that spot
I had fun in high school, because I didn’t ‘waste’ any of my time learning stuff… or finishing…
School isn’t for learning and edumication silly! LOL
I thought I was so smart.
you are smart….you just do dumb things 😀
Yeah I do. But thanks.
Of course. I’ve been superman on numerous occasions but he’s getting really old now and his walker gets in the way of the cape 🙂
lol. May need a shorter cape
Dear Brick,
YES! I do. 🙂
Love Dotty xx
luck you! I wish I still did. It’s an awesome feeling
I know I used to fly in my dreams – the last one I can remember I was flying over a big crowd at a stadium or something & then realized I had no clothes on. I think this was the last flying dream I had. I have lots of the dreams where you wake up with a start like you’ve just fallen off the ceiling, but I rarely have a falling dream. I read once if you feel like you’ve just fallen from the ceiling, it’s your spirit or soul returning to your body after it’s been on a walk about. So when you feel like you’re having deja vu, sometimes it’s because your spirit has already done this when it was outside your body.
You are 100%. I believe the same thing.. Flying in your dream is your spirit just checking things out. Not sure about in the nude tho..show off! 😀
