I used to have this wierd recurring nighmare. I would picture one of those big swings you'd have on your porch and the background would be all black. All I would see is this swing, but I don't remeber if it was swaying or not. I don't remember ever seeing myself on it, either. It's one of those "falling" dreams that everybody's had, and after a few minutes I would slowly start to feel like I was falling, or like I was laying on the swing in real life and about to roll off. The feeling would build up slowly and then it would bet really strong, just like you feel when you're falling. I would feel, in real life, my body kind of jump when I fell off, like I hit the ground, but I don't remember ever hitting the ground. That's when the dream would end, when I woke up suddenly.
I've had a bunch of different dreams about falling, like one where I slipped off the edge of the Grand Canyon and nobody would help me back up. I was holding on for a little whiil but I'd lose my grip and fall and then wake up. I've never hit the ground in any of these dreams, though. Any of you guys ever hit the ground in your falling dreams?
