thanks for correcting me on that :)

[BuffaloX]

Many times,
Sometimes I fly very high, and wonder, what if this stops working?
Fortunately I have never crashed.:lolflag:

Dreams are crazy sometimes.

[RAV TUX]

...yes I've dreamt I wanted to fly like an angel

I would like to hear more; do you mean you day dreamt of flying like an angel or have had actual dreams of flying like an angel or both?

do you mean like Angel on the X-men movie,....his wings were awesome. I like the way he saved his father, predictable but poetic.

I'm glad to here you have never crashed.

[Demio]

Yea, I've dreamt I could fly. It's really awesome and I wish I could really fly :)

[ButteBlues]

I believe the act of flying kind of requires air as opposed to water. ;)

[Dragonbite]

I have. Usually I am flying low, round a building,trees or some mix of columns and water.

Usually when I have flying dreams I find myself having to get to a specific thought, or state-of-mind, and when I slip, I begin to descend but when I'm in "the zone" then I am able to fly and control myself.

I am glad, though, that I'm not restricted to Superman style flight (head-first like a bullet) although that does work sometimes. Usually I'm vertical somewhat.

I think it means I'm crazy or something ;) Who knows.

[liljoe76]

interesting thread.... i do, infact its the only 'daydream' that can get me in a good calm place when my mind is burdened. it has been in my thoughts since i was 5 or 6.

[hurt]

Literally; like a an angel, or a bird, or a butterfly?...have you ever dreamed you could fly?

yes, and also falling...

[gnomeuser]

The Wright brothers used science to solve that dream long before I was ever born.. Thus my valuable dream time can be spend more interesting subjects, like what it would feel like to be sucked into a black hole (though Neil deGrasse Tyson explained that rather well and it doesn't sound pleasant).

[karellen]

yes, more precisely floating/levitating :)

we are talking about man powered flight, not planes etc. or more exactly, flying without the aid of an aircraft - just like a bird :P
did the wright brothers solve this?...;)

[use a name]

yes, and also falling...

Yeah, the falling dreams... I had a couple of re-appearing ones. When they first started I thought I had been standing in bed and somehow made myself land in bed under the blankets... Oh well, I wasn't entirely awake then.

As to flying: I've checked out Second Life a while back. That caused some flight dreams. :popcorn:

[omns]

yes

[fuscia]

i can fly. it's a lot more work than you'd think (although, fortunately for me, i don't fly a duck, which is even more work). i suppose if i just dreamed about it while lying there sleeping, i might have a better attitude.

yes, indeed i make it happen. lucid-dreaming ;)

Well man powered flight is decidedly not a realistic option, as cool as it would be, we can't just flap our ears and takeoff.. I can live with assisted flight, it's still way cool - who doesn't love defying gravity?

I'd love to take a flight to space once it becomes commercially available (only a true maniac pays 25 million for 11 days crammed in a tinbox with a bunch of sweaty russians - for 25 million, I want to fly in style).

[MaindotC]

It's DREAMT, not "dreamed" you fools! DREAMT!!! I don't care what firefox says!

[d0ida]

In dreams, I only manage to fly a few feet off the ground. What's up with that?

[bobbybobington]

I've had dreams where I could glide by opening my jacket like a pair of wings, or I could jump really far like a kangaroo (kinda like flying), but never a "real" flying dream.

[use a name]

I will work on it tonight.

Nope, slept like a brick.
