Flying in the Aviary★★
August 24, 1996 @ Middle of Night
The Aviary

It’s a glorious bright land and I’m flying through the air! There’s a small airfield with a warehouse on it and a Robotech Mac-like vehicle. In the front are lots of flat fields, and a forest surrounds it. Behind it is this big cliff where a watch tower is, watching over the place, commanding the stuff below. We move to the left of the airfield and down to my favorite take-off hill. It has grass and stones on it, and a wall behind it. There are birds everywhere — there’s barely a place to land!

My favorite place to take off is a hill in the aviary. When I do, it feels like gravity slowly pulls me down unless I feel a lightness in my center (my 4th chakra area). The chakra glows, becomes fuzzy-edged and see-through, and it lifts me. I couldn’t get enough flying. I felt so free and kept doing it over and over. There were some beginners with me who wouldn’t try as often as I. At one point a friend and I got out the Robotech machinery and were firing either bullet or blast rounds at a general store across the way. I’ve dreamed of this setup before, where it’s a large, flat airfield with a cliff at one end. We fire things across in a sort of friendly pseudo-war. It’s a deep night dream.

I’m flying, then FLASH — I’m visiting and pestering Bethany. She has a date for something but it doesn’t bother me. I try to do backflips but it’s hard. This feels more “real” and so I felt I couldn’t fly here. Bethany and her date get on a bus and I join them. As the bus starts to move, she complains to a girlfriend of hers who’s having sex. Since she’s annoyed, I say “Hey, let’s go to sleep! Do you fly? I’ll take you to this place!” I settle down to sleep on the bus, but instead of going to the Aviary, I drift awake in the physical.

Flying: Here’s some extra in-depth information on flying in dreams and what it’s like. And I’m writing as if I’m aware of how my chakras look!

Dream Transitions: In the dream self focus, I consider the more real social dream with Bethany to be “awake”. I know I can get back to the Aviary by “going to sleep”. I’m confident I can take her with me, and I probably could.

Instead, I woke up in the physical world.
