When I was an adult mother told me that as a toddler I attempted to walk down stairs but instead rolled the distance to the bottom —emerged uninjured but I didn’t recall the event. I’ve concluded that is what my flying dream on those stairs I had for so many years was about. Then there’s the childhood repeated dream of being chased and running as fast as I could I actually seemed to go slower with the chaser gaining behind me - never a conclusion on that dream either. I concluded there was anxiety in my life then though I could relate it to an event to which I was subjected when I was a younger child. One dream in particular as an adult i could relate to on several levels — was to my emotional state, life situation and identified individuals.

Birth and babies are the most interesting. Jumping fearlessly - even though not ourselves is also a good one. And then flying I've always loved.<br /><br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-79619662829407203432019-02-13T03:18:19.795-03:302019-02-13T03:18:19.795-03:30I rec’d that comment, too, and chose to not releas...I rec’d that comment, too, and chose to not release for publication as it violates my criteria — Anon., uncivil, irrelevant to topic for starters— one of few I’ve ever not released — just a troll, I think — best completely ignored and not worth mentioning. <br /><br />I’ve read there are several different approaches to analyzing dreams, so how to know which to apply? I’ve tended to think my dreams simply reflect my feelings — I.e. anxiety, or in a few recuring dreams I had as a child, I still remember the events visualized as a child might perceive them, not as they actually occurred. But I’ve never extensively studied the different ways to interpret dreams.
