alexxkayFreud was full of it. Flying dreams are nohow about sex. *Sex* dreams are about sex. I had one of each last night, and they were clearly distinguishable.
Hmmmm...
On the other hand, flying dreams could make a good metaphor for romantic love, at least in my experience of both. In order to fly, you need to keep moving forward; hovering in place doesn't work. It's almost impossible to keep a steady altitude, you're always going up or down (see Andreas Capellanus rule 4: "It is well known that love is either increasing or decreasing."). It's thrilling when you get really high, but also terrifying, because there's so much further to fall if you make a mistake.
