So I'm not the only one who's had that experience of starting to fly? That's really interesting. I wonder if anyone else has?

Well, there's only one way to find out...

Ok this is downright weird.

People from around the world having same dreams?
I've NEVER told anyone the details of mine and they totally match..

Try this.

1) When you 'land' you have problems taking off again?
2) Power lines ..just get past one lot and there's another lot above?
3) Sometimes when you get too high you 'lose power'?
4) Trying to 'show friends you can fly' usually just ends in a running start 'face plant'?
5) Sometimes power lines aren't there when you take off..they appear 'in-flight'?
6) You can sometimes 'sit' on clouds.?
7) Front crawl/Freestyle to speed up.?
8) You can't 'carry' anyone..you just lose height.?

Weird..

Right! But for some reason, ducking under them isn't really an option, you have to go over them. And as a result you find yourself getting higher and higher which is naturally more perilous. It's like gaining altitude is far easier than declining.

FEAR LINES. I concur. I will admit that I tend to have this variation of the dream when I am having real-life difficulties. The concept of "avoiding ones problems" lingers when I wake up from them.

I had a flying dream just last night. It's funny, because I have been reading and thinking a lot about this subject. In last night's, I was running from some kind of antagonist (I can't remember exactly, just that something bad was chasing me), and I sort of 'half-realized' that I was dreaming. So I attempted to fly away. It worked, but only just barely. I found it very difficult to take off, and even moreso to control.

Since I've been on this kick, it's been my goal to try to fly any time I realize I'm dreaming. The weirdest thing is that you'd think it would be black and white - "Ah, I must be dreaming! Now I have all of my wits about me, just like when I'm awake!" ...Only it's not like that. It's like dreaming that you realize you're dreaming. Not a truly lucid dream, where you become master of that realm.

I also have a recurring theme that I'm floating indoors. In those dreams I have very little or no control, it's like I'm being led. Usually down a dark hallway, into a room that someone is sleeping in. I don't want to go in there, and I'm afraid they'll wake up and see me floating in their doorway.

I'll say a bit more. After my dad passed away in 2003, I had a dream like that. I was in my parent's house and it was exactly as it would be at the hour of night it actually was. I was floating slowly down the hallway and saw my father, who held out his arms and we embraced.

I'm not a religious person, and my spirituality is - undeveloped - to say the least. I've never encountered anything 'paranormal' or seen a UFO, but I woke up from this one rather shaken, but with a feeling of love and understanding that is difficult to explain. I know it was 'just a dream' but it felt very different from any other I've had.

hello . im new on this Posting deal .. but a reader of ATS pre 9/11

the dreams i have are very consistent. i dont have changing dreams .. i just have dreams of alot of talking .. conversations . and always .. with people i have no clue who they are and i know for sure ill never meet these people .

I have strong conversations in most dreams the more recent dream was with a Girl .. and telling her personal stuff . I want to tell people in my life.. not like im holding it back . i just havent had time and its weird , being so comfortable with these Strangers in my dreams ..

I sometimes get Anti Social and wont go into public for a week .. yet i can go to a bar like nothn and i dont have to be drinking .. but a grocery store i freak out ... but when i have dreams im not like that .. i wish i was the person in my dreams . I feel stronger. more loyal to myself .

Another thing i wanted to get at . is the people i have conversations with .. Are they from the spiritual world???

Seeing people i know that have passed away .makes me believe when we die we can do whatever we want ...

I think I have read from many different authors that the people in our dreams can be deceased people as well as people we know in everyday life.

There are plenty of rock songs about making spiritual contact with loved ones.

Like Pink Floyd's "Pillow of Winds", The Moody Blues album "In Search of the Lost Chord" and many others.

And yes I worry that other people seeing me floating in my sleep will freak out.
There is a condition named after a Saint about sleeping floating or bouncing above the mattress but I can't think of the name right now.

if ur gonna practice flying, do it with a mattress underneath and maybe no more then a metre on the air, other wise it oculd get painful for you.
