ODD is the right word there Loew! thanks for reading it! i am so glad you're looking forward to the 3rd part i'll post it soon! I thought you might be a flyer too soldier girl! I know exactly what you mean about the levitation and feeling like you're falling off something. When you say swimming with whales do you mean in the sea or swimming in the air? I ask because when i'm flying, it does feel like swimming, as if the air has the same density as water and i'm using my arms and legs to swim upwards through it! I also 'fly' when awake (yes without drugs lol) i started to have out of body experiences when i was 4, i used to look at my arms and hands and think 'they're weird' as if my soul didn't want to be in my body and felt trapped, or i'd say my name over and over til i got this weird feeling about my identity then i would just levitate off! I used to tell my mum my 'brain' was sitting on top of the wardrobe looking down at my body!lol but i soon learnt to keep quiet! lol It didn't happen for some years again until early adulthood and now i'm tryin to sort of master it and take the fear out of it a bit. And learn about astral projection! It's fascinating!

You fly a lot in dreams too huh? As do I, but ever since I was a kid, I sometimes have these dreams where I am trying to levitate, concentrating and then I rise up. Or I am swimming with whales. LOL. And then their are the dreams where I am trying to answer a phone or a number comes up on a phone and I wake up trying to remember it. As far as vertigo, yep..I get that too. I also get where I feel like I just fall of a step and my body literally thinks its falling and reacts (in real life, outside the dream) LOL

ok folks here's the 2nd scene of that dream..this bit is seriously bizarre! Raven, i'd welcome any dream analysis, though you'll probably recommend psychoanalysis after this! Lol. Anyway, so after Nic said goodbye in the 1st part of the dream, I find myself in another environment. I'm not sure where i am at 1st, but soon realise i'm outdoors, and by the colour of the sky, i work out it's dawn. I'm in a country field on the edge of woodland. The colours are autumnal. Its cold but i'm enjoying the air stinging my face, the field is vivid green and i can really feel the energy of the earth welling up to meet me. Then I notice the people. And I begin to figure out that this is the 2nd day of some sort of weekend conference, the day I met Nic being the previous one, and we are here for some sort of team building activity. No sign of Nic, but I don't feel any hankering, just gladness i met him the day before. Then I notice the clothes they are wearing, country tweeds for the men and like queen victoria for the women! They are all drinking some hot liquid from plastic cups - I'm not sure what it is but i know it's not tea or coffee and this intrigues me - standing around talking. I am starting to get annoyed that they can't see the changing colours of the sky and enjoy the miracle of nature around them. Then i notice the rifles. With horror creeping over me, I realise it's a hunting party. And although something registers they are not that serious about shooting, I feel really panicky. Then, I slowly feel myself lifting up higher and higher off the ground until i'm hovering in the sky! ( I fly alot, it's not always pleasant, i get a feeling of vertigo and this twisting sensation in my tummy..thats astral projection for you, but i'll save that for another thread.. Lol.). My feelings of panic increase tenfold when, looking down, I see the crowd begin to separate and start walking about with their rifles, looking for prey. I start to try and shout 'Hey you guys can't you see the sky changing colours?', but my voice doesn't come out and they have this robotic look on their faces all the while. i'm willing my feet to the ground, i'm trying to connect to the earth, asking it to pull me back down like a magnet, so I can try and stop this. I start to flap my arms about and notice as i do so the sky starts to change colours in the same rhythm, nothing too impressive, but like the flashing coloured lights of a 70's disco! This is casting patterns onto the ground below too and I suddenly feel excited that this could cause enough distraction to stop the hunters, or atleast make it impossible to see well enough to shoot. But to my horror, i start to see small rabbits coming out of the woodland, attracted by the light! but thankfully, to my huge relief, they are hopping so quickly in and out of the strobe like light, they would not be spotted for long enough to make a target.
It was at this point I found myself swept off to another environment and into a completely different scene!
How weird was this! And when you read the final part.. when i get round to writing it.. you'll wonder, like me, what this bit was doing in my dream! lol!
