Majority of people within my circles like the concept of flight, and I'm no exception to that. But what happens when you dream about it too often? All is good and well until you have to run away from someone or chase them too.
It was a recurring dream even if I don't remember when was the last time I had one of those. All I know is it happened a lot and it's almost burned into my mind.
Everything starts in a large, open space. Sometimes I think it's one of those airport runways. Lots of concrete. I would find myself alone or with an acquaintance of some sort, walking at first. Then the momentum picks up its pace as it changes from brisk walking to sprinting and numerous attempts of hopping, skipping, and jumping to lift off. (I laugh at the thought of it because it reminds me of actual airplane liftoffs, minus the bouncing around.)
And it always goes well. My feet leave the ground and it feels like I'm floating yet I almost have full control of my motions. Try to imagine doing huge skips with lots of hang time in between each step. The first few minutes of exploration are calm and dreamy until you feel a dreadful presence coming from behind.
The eerie aura comes from a dark entity that doesn't really have a distinct form. It could be masculine, feminine, or even one that resembles an animal. Regardless of the form, it has formidable strength. Every surface it lands on ends up damaged from impact and every lunge it does has so much force into it. I don't know why it chases after me, nor do I want to know, so I do everything I can to increase the gap in between us.
I would then realize I'm dreaming as the pursuit takes a lot of time but my body never grew tired. All I'd feel is my heart pounding against my chest. Not much time to question reality - I'm really too busy to find ways to survive the chase. I put more intention into my jumps as I launch myself to anything I can latch on to and start the process all over.
However, there's a different version of this dream sequence where I do the chasing instead of running away. The feeling is accompanied by the thought that I should chase after whatever it was, otherwise, it could destroy the space we're moving in.
I wish I could tell you there were different endings to these but alas, my dreams get cut off and I wake up to a high heart rate. There will always be a hint of frustration to it because I never get to the bottom of the story. I'd also wish I could get back to Dreamland, float, fly, and forget about Earth's gravity.
Could it mean something? We'll never know. But I know it felt real.
