My flying dreams start with running, jumping, and willing gravity not to reclaim me. The jumps get longer, and higher, until I am in the clouds, flying. However, if I start to doubt my ability to do this, I start to fall again. I can focus on positive thoughts to slow the descent, but sometimes I still have to bounce off the ground a little to get back up.

The power to will myself into the air feels like it comes from within my chest.

I was able to calculate in the dream that they had done it more times than there were days in the week so far, and remember being perplexed that he had fallen asleep more than once in a day.

the end
It means:
If you fall asleep 4 times with green rubber bands around your dick, you will become more endowed. Seriously.

My "flying" dreams are actually hovering dreams. I find that if I hold my breath and concentrate I can sort of "coast" a couple of feet over the ground, slightly faster than I can run.

Not very dramatic. I definitely wouldn't be a top tier superhero.

Mostly I have mild nightmares. At least, they are what I remember.

Typically they will be me getting into some sort of social faux pas or doing something horrible that I would never do in real life. When I wake up, I'm momentarily ashamed/mortified, until I realize it's just a dream. Weird, huh?

Anyone know what might cause those kinds of dreams?

When I was very young, I had a recurring nightmare. I would describe it as something "trickling" but built and built until it overwhlemed me and everyone else. In eleventh grade, my class was watching a documentary in history. They showed a commercial for LBJ - it was a little girl pulling the petals off of a daisy, counting down from ten as she plucked each petal. When she got to five there was a voice over of a "rocket-type" countdown, which ended with a nuclear explosion. Sitting in class, I almost cried with fright - it was my childhood nightmare.

OMG. I JUST read a story, not five minutes ago, about that commercial. OMG. I wonder what that means?

Daisy

the original commercial

Quote:
In the New York Times, Alessandra Stanley argues that the ad – which she calls "as disturbing — and arresting — as a hostage video from Iraq" – represents one of the few times that Democrats have put out an ad that successfully appeals to people's emotions. "In the recent past, it has been the Republican advertisements that have tended to be more bold and more memorable: the Willie Horton advertisements that George Bush used against Michael S. Dukakis in 1988 or the specter of stalking wolves that his son, George W. Bush, used to make Senator John Kerry seem weak on terrorism," she writes. "Democrats usually have to go back to 1964 and Lyndon B. Johnson’s 'Daisy' attack on Barry Goldwater to find comparably vivid ads. Until now, that is."

She got really close to my ear, and as she reached the end of the song, I involuntarily sang the last couple of lines...and suddenly got sucked out of the car window! Woke up right after that, thinking, oh. my. god.

Does anyone know what it means if your dreams are constantly about being chased and or running from something? I've been having a lot of those dreams lately. The ones where you're running, scared, lost, and you wake up gasping for air, trying to catch your breath, or you wake up at the point in the dream where someone's hands are around your neck. Is that anxiety related? Anyone got any ideas?
