I love this.

I have flying dreams too.

It's my unconscious mind telling me to stop holding back. Just go for it.

I just need to figure out why I spent half my life ignoring that message.

That’s the message, right! It reminded me of one of my fave quotes, from Erin Hanson: "What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?"

Aaaah! It’s not just us! Do you think it means the same for everyone?

It's probably not exactly the same, but I think the feeling you get in the dream is always the key to understanding what it means for you.

That’s exactly how I remember it. It was a wondrous feeling like, “look what’s possible!”

The feeling I have is freedom too! Plus, a sense of exhilaration when I realise I can go higher and higher by the effort of “flapping my arms”. Then I guess it’s surrender and calm when I hover the ocean.
