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.

Usually, it's deeply rooted within our subconsciousness, the true feelings we normally hide and keep for ourselves in waking reality, although I also think that this are different versions of us in different realities, we get a glimpse of it through our dream, that is why the feeling strong, same reason why I chose to go in a meditative deep sleep state to quiet down my dreams to nothing every night. You goodsy arc-yy maybe you should be open yourself more to your friends, live and laugh and enjoy every bit of it, since this is the only thing we truly have control of, buy !PIZZA then send some to me via lalamove because wala lang para masaya.
Sleep’s boring without dreams! Char. And yeaaa, I also wonder if dreams are our alternate realities. Jusq multiverse yarrrn?!
Eto rin !PIZZA kasi ayoko magpadeliver. Balakajannn
Haha I don't dream they're all nightmares 😂
Well if we aren't universe individually then we're just NPC. Oh noooess the plot thickens like a breast part chicken 🐔😂
Why this is like a hell of adventure, like in a movie you are being pursuit of something. That's kind of scary ha, like magigising wari sa ganyan na tagaktak ang pawis coz of fears, anxiety and desperation ba.
It’s really an adventure! Messes with my mind but I somehow like it too! Don’t worry, ‘di naman siya sobrang intense to the point na may pawis na pagkagising 😂
!PIZZA
Oh, then that's good, parang this is jusy like pampagising talaga ng diwa ee lol

Is there something in your life that you are hesitating to say of emotions you can't express? It always has something to do with things happening in our waking life. I had a dream too that I'd been chased and I would jump off the building but couldn't fly ..the meaning was still unknown.. But I was probably anxious by that time..

Yep! Most of the time, I get dreams like this when I’m suppressing or hesitating to go after something.
Pero parang mas nakakaloka yung dream mo of jumping off the building!
