A dream of voluntary floating

I slept long last night, from 7:30 PM yesterday to 11:15 AM today. I dreamt of some very interesting things. A recurring aspect of the dream was an ability to float voluntarily.

I discovered this ability while sitting in a room that felt like a large cube, with miscellanios objects on all 6 sides. I was talking with an old high school friend.
It was at this point that I say in indian style and began to float very high to the ceiling.

Eventually I realized that I could control the speed, direction, and “intensity” of my floating experience by holding my breath. It was truly marvelous, and I felt so happy that I had spontaneously gained the ability to fly. I really had no idea I was dreaming. It was very dissapointing when I woke up.

Has anyone else had interesting dreams lately?

It’s been a recurring dream of mine for something like 50 years, since I was a young’un. Usually it’s not to any great height — 20 or 30 feet — but each time I have the dream, there’s an “Oh, that’s right, that’s how to do it” familiar feeling that I’ve done it many times before.

I enjoy those dreams.

I love the flying dream! For me it’s always outside in a town or city I don’t recognize. With ‘effort’ I can get over buildings 4 or 5 floors tall and go at a fair rate. The odd thing is it’s never Superman-style flying, I always stay in a vertical standing position.
