Someone posting about dancing dreams made me think about my own flying dreams and something occured to me:
It's very common to have dreams where you're flying, so common perhaps that it's not given that much thought, it doesn't seem that special.
But it is a special dream because it goes against your waking reality, at least I'm not able to fly the way I do in dreams when I'm awake. That means that it's expressing a desire and not "just" reliving experiences to understand them or exploring an issue.
I haven't been dreaming for many years (too stressed out I think), but when I did, the flying dreams were always the same:
Different settings, sometimes nature - sometimes urban. Moving and becoming aware that you're not limited to physically doing it, but able to use will to hover and move through the air to where you want to go and stay hovering, not "ruled" by gravity. It's only the reality of being able to do it that's explored in the dream, nothing else goes on. There's no flying to far away places or other people involved and there's no "speeding through the air at high altitudes, seeing the ground rushing by". It's like a self discovery of an ability.
I have a good sense of what "real life" desire it's relating to for me personally and I'm sure that others will have those type of issues as well, they might express them in the same way, perhaps differently, that makes it interesting because it says something about personality and attitude and charecter.
So what are your flying dreams like? Different? the same? do you have a sense of what yours are about?
