“I like the idea of taking off like a bird.” — Florence Welch I am suddenly awakened from my dream by a loud sound Not sure where I am, but I’m in a tree high above the ground I feel light, airy and I am dressed in bright blue whimsy fluff It may be my imagination, but my feet feel sharp and rough I am enjoying this reverie as I sit perched up in the oak tree My arms are now wings and I have a visualization of flying free I feel delightfully happy as I start to croon, chirp and sing It may be a hallucination, but I also feel my tail feathers swing I decided to take a big risk and flap my wings to try to fly To my delight and surprise, I am now happily soaring in the sky It’s now three am as I’m suddenly awakened from my bed And look at my clock as a blue feather falls from my head

Tania, there is indeed something special about flying. It's some kind of freedom. It's been a long time since I had a flying dream like you describe. Part of my life was spent as a flight instructor and commercial pilot, so I did have the fun of combining work and flight at the same time. I was very lucky in that regard. I have to say that your description of flight and willingness to try it is fun to read. Smiles!!
