    Got it. Thank you for confirming. i would add then that as you seem in the habit of such very vivid dreaming, which is wonderful, you most likely could learn without too much effort how to become lucid within them.

    Should you study the subject and take on the practice, if I might be so bold as to suggest that you try to maintain a healthy level of skepticism about all that you find yourself experiencing, try to look at it from as much of a scientific point of view as both you are able and as the current science allows, and try especially to be careful of interpretting any experience with too much dogma; not that there's anything necessarily wrong with that--i don't mean to judge those who do--but simply to say what i believe to be of benefit that i seem to have found that the more objective and less stringent you try to be, certainly the more you subdue ego and the less you rely on attachment of the preconceived, the more you will see consciousness as it reveals itself to be.

    I had a flying dream last night! First time in a long while.

    In this dream I saw 5 or 6 archers on the roof of my house, and I was standing outside. It seemed to be a stand-off of some sort (I had read an article on the Mexican narco-wars in the New Yorker before going to sleep, which probably had something to do with the theme). I had a bow in hand as well. When the archers started shooting arrows at me and I knew I was seriously outnumbered, I suddenly realized that my bow also doubled as a sort of flying contraption (!), and I was able to escape.

    Funny, at no point was I anxious or frightened--I just flew away and thought "OMG, this is so awesome" and the focus shifted away from the evil archers and onto just enjoying looking at the landscape below. I was upright during flight, kind of like being on a flying skateboard.

    It was exhiliarating, and I woke up very relaxed and refreshed.

    Yeah. I have taken good care of my dog for 6 years. He owes me a ride on his back in my dream.

    I have had dreams before where I fall off of rollarcoasters...

    So, it's kinda like lucid dreaming until I hit the ground.

    i simply push off the ground with my toes and will myself into the air as if it's the most natural thing in the world. I wonder what it means?

    Never could remember my dreams, but one of my bestest from high school told me she had a dream with me in it, and she woke up... not sure what the dream was about though?

    The views can be spectacular as occaisonally I approach outer space. This sometimes leads to flying, unprotected, in outer space, or walking on the surface of hostile planets like Mars, or moons like Europa..."

    I love the fact that you're specific about Europa - which is referenced in "2010, A Space Odyssey" as the ice-moon which is giving rise to life, overseen by the monoliths (Arthur C. Clarke).

    I rarely have flying dreams but when I do it often involves a "magical town" I visit by train. When I am there I can do a number of things not in 'normal' life, such as flying. Often started as a run where my strides get longer - turning into jumps that get higher and higher 'til I'm above the trees and can glide freely. It feels amazing!

    Flying dreams are the shit lol! My last one was months ago or maybe a year ago. I was in my neighborhood not far from my house and I went up into the air above a light pole and hovered. When I got up there I got a bit scared of the height. Now if only I could find a way to do it in real life lol.

    In most of my dreams, I'm more or less gliding than flying. (Sometimes with an object, other times by myself) Other times I jump really high. There are times when I am flying, but stuggling to stay up.

    braddomo saidI had one this morning after not having one for maybe 10 years or more. I think it means you are happy in life at the moment. Last year was horrible. Breakup, bad tenant, recession. My flying dream was really long. I was opening a jacket and flew over a beautiful forest somewhere using the jacket to fly. In the past it was just my arms lifting me up. It was so fun and beautiful being way up there. What are your flying dreams?


    Yes, I have had flying dreams. In one of them I flew by doing what amounted to the breast stroke--but in the air rather than the water. It was very cool.

    in many of my dreams i fly dangerously close to the earths atmosphere sometimes reaching space. im afraid of heights and its a struggle to stay a float so it was more of a nightmare. i'd shoot up really fast too

    scary.

    my last flying dream was during a really bad rain storm. although I was lower to the ground I got really soaked and wet so it made it hard to fly and find it enjoyable.

    Usually when flying in a dream I just jump up and not come down to the ground.
    Sometimes I jump off a cliff and fly above the treetops.
