Dreams, January 15th, 2005

Ben Perry and Andrew Podojil were there. (They are both guys from my school and they’re both in my grade, but we’re not friends at all.)

I was walking along a dirt path. There were houses along the right fairly close together. Trees were all around; it reminded me of camp in the summer.

I think I was trying to get away from someone or something at one point because Ben and Andrew were scurrying around helping me, and I had to maneuver around.

Each house had a trampoline in their front or back yard, at first just the front yard, so I jumped onto one trampoline, then another, then another, then another, and then I went into someone’s backyard. There were ropes hanging off the sides of the house so I used that to swing from trampoline to trampoline to trampoline; finally I just glided through the air and I approached grass, there were a couple people in the backyard looking at me wondering why I was there but not dumbfounded that I was practically flying. It probably took about 15-20 seconds for me to land softly on the grass from the time I left the last trampoline. It was so peaceful but I was also anticipating landing.

I think this next part was another dream, or it was connected to the other part somehow but I just don’t remember. Again I feel now that I was running around was something as opposed to running toward it. I’m pretty sure Ben and Andrew were there again. I was running around and suddenly I’m in a room that resembled a Subway station, but then when I went up a couple stairs, I turned to the right and there was a door. The door is opened so I go through it as I’m instructed, I think by Ben. I saw stairs going down.

As I went down the stairs I turned to the left and circled around and I was then entering a room. It seemed like a library but it had a volleyball net in the middle. It was like a sanctuary for me, people were obviously expecting me to get there around that time. I sat down and was trying to slide down the stairs, which were carpeted with a light green color that seemed to match the rest of this underground room, but I was having a hard time getting down the stairs. Eventually I did get down, though.

Something else happened that I don’t quite remember, or maybe it didn’t, but then someone was coming down the stairs that I was supposed to avoid. I could then fly, but it was more like gliding, similar to before. I was gliding around in circles around the “volleyball net.” I seem to remember Teri Haney being there, who is a girl I see maybe two times a year at the most at various church social functions; I’m not friends with her, but she is friends with some of my friends, particularly Corbin Rose.

I'm always running away, or running toward something. And most of the time I glide/fly in my dreams, but it's not like, "Yay I'm flying!" I just am. But I don't usually fly per se but subconsciously I know that I'm dreaming, I guess, and that way I can only glide, even if the gliding is supernatural. Kind of odd. Even in my dreams, in my mind, I'm still not completely free of my physical body.

There is a lot of up and down movement in this dream! In waking life, are you trying to avoid something?

The dream suggests that you may need a "higher" perspective concerning some situation, or that you are gently avoiding some issue. Who or what do you not want to deal with? Could it have to do with some type of school activity ... a competition or a test of some kind? (just looking for possibilities)
