Our dreams

I could fly When I was a child i just lifted my legs and flew every night, it was as natural as my breath. Now my son flys high and feels the air rush past as he smiles and he tells me “Dad in my dreams i can fly” and i say then hold on tight son because when i grew up i forgot how to fly high like you.

    Wonderful what we can do as children, such a shame we forget how to do it when we are grown. Lovely story Alan

    Alan, I can relate to this very personally. With five sons, I even remember a couple of real attempts off the roof top with hero capes on.

    No problem. It made me smile so much. I remember dreaming I could fly when I was a little girl and I use to wake up very happy.
    Alan, I have a book of dreams.
    I have just found it…it says:
    to experience weghtlessness in a dream and rise above the ground is an experience known as astral projection. In this state some people say the spirit leaves the body.
    People who do this can usually rise above their problems when awake. So rarely remain depressed for long

    I will go to bed thinking of this tonight…Cool :-)

    ” I could fly…” Why is it that when we get older we forget more? Astral travel is as natural to our spirit as walking is to our physical world. But, we forget. I am in awe of how your son communicates with you. I am in awe of your art and your writings. You can do it, you can fly…
