Further dreams

larryhammerWhen I was very young, I had repeated nightmares of falling. Usually, I fell off things, from at least second-story height, but sometimes I fell from mid-air. Sometimes this came out of the dreamstory, others it just happened. Either way, a nightmare. I always woke on impact -- except this one dream. It was one of the from mid-air ones, over our back patio. This time, when I hit the ground, I teleported twenty feet above the ground and fell again. And again. And again. Total major freak-out material here -- but not, apparently, major enough to wake me up. Finally, one repeat, as I plummeted at the ground, out of sheer panicked desperation, I ... missed.
Instead, I floated a couple feet off the ground. Which surprised me so much, I woke up. Finally.
That was my last falling nightmare -- and my first flying dream.
When I first read Douglas Adams's description of flying, I went, "Yes! Exactly!"
