Flying

Sigmund Freud believed flying dreams were a means of sexual release. But he thought that about everything.

For me, taking flight begins with the ‘hop, skip, jump,’ like in track-and-field, ending in a gentle landing, running as if I were using a ram-air parachute. A friend of mine claims flying dreams represents freedom, hope, control, motivation or a new perspective; the desire to escape from the stresses and pressures of everyday life; that the dreamer has reached a higher spiritual connection; or that the dreamer simply thinks they’re better than everyone else.

My flying dreams have stopped since learning this.
