When I dream about falling, I almost always wake up before I hit the ground. Is this

[raccoon]

something everybody does?

[elleng]

1. Yes, I've read the waking up part is common.

Good thing!

[hibbing]

2. That has happened to me!

Wake up in a dang state of shock.


Peace

[hunter]

3. No.

But they've got meds for that, and I take 'em.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Yes, and the old urban legend was...

that if you didn't, you'd die.

[El Supremo]

9. Right.

You always wake up. If you hit the ground you're dead.

5. Fly.

I used to have them. When I was little I used to have them regularly and even fell out of the top bunk one time, cutting my chin open!

I just somehow convinced myself that I would fly in my dreams, and ever since, that's what I do.

Backed to the edge of a cliff by the dinosaurs fighting in front of you?

No problem.

Climbing the face of Half Dome?

Not a worry in the world.


Just fly.

10. I miss flying. Haven't had a flying dream in years...

Once had a dream that I fell through some ice and was slowly sinking to the bottom as the light faded. Woke up just s it went dark. Happily, that dream never repeated.

Closely related to flying, I could skate on any surface. Flying was an extension in a way, it was sort of skating on air for me.

6. Interesting fact... us "lucid dreamers" can realize while we are falling...

that it is indeed only a dream. If you can somehow not jerk your self awake, you will find yourself in a deeper
layer of dream sequence where you will meet the most interesting characters. Some of whom you already know.

[alphafemale]

7. Yes. It is interesting.

Picking up stories the next night even.

8. You too ???? I'm glad that I'm not the only one. nt
