Flying dreams are great aren't they?
I remember my 1st flying dream... though i remember i was quite scared the 1st time i flew.
To start off with: i was at a friends house in a room and suddenly started to float to the ceiling (funnily enough, the same friend was explaining to me about astral projection earlier that very day IRL), after that i went outside and the floating became higher, initially the dream was set in daylight but it quickly turned dark, and that's when i got a bit scared...
I quickly developed the ability to zoom out into the atmosphere at an alarming rate, best way i can describe it would be: has anybody played TDU 1?.. well it was exactly like what happens when you zoom out to the map and back again, and the sensation felt exactly the same as those falling down the stairs dreams (sense of uncontrollable momentum), but once i realised i couldn't actually harm myself or crash into buildings etc (i discovered i could come to a dead stop on command).. i began to harness even more control over placement and trajectory.
I've had quite a few flying dreams since then and have gained even more control and confidence, but there are side-effects....
When having these dreams there are a couple of things that happen.
1: Once in the flying dream, there is a sense of semi-consciousness, and i hear (mostly faint but sometimes loud) what only can be described as an electrical buzzing/humming noise, (happens every time, and can hear it even though i'm half asleep/semi conscious).
2: Again i'm fully aware i'm doing it as i'm semi conscious when flying (aware that i'm dreaming/sleeping)... I convulse (head and neck mainly and quite violently sometimes), my partner confirms it, as it usually wakes her up.
3: The 3rd thing isn't a side effect, more of a requirement for me to have the flying dreams in the 1st place... i have to be lying on my back, usually with my head tilted back slightly (pillow behind my neck as opposed to behind my head), i don't know, but it might not be the wisest thing to do, as i imagine the blood can pool in the back of the head, which i imagine can't be all that good for me.
Anyway has anybody experienced similar things whilst flying in a dream?.. i'd be interested to know.
