nigel99 475 #28 August 7, 2002 I used to dream that for some reason I had nothing open and that I fell till about 300ft at which point I would "bounce" off successive friends canopies much like a trampoline/bouncy castle effect till a "safe" fall distance. Their canopies felt like bouncy castles on impact no pain etc. Maybe it was hopefull as a back plan for a double mal?Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

FliegendeWolf 0 #30 August 7, 2002 Quoteit seems in all of my skydiving dreams my canopy opens JUST in time for me to land safely. what's up with that??? Weird! I just had one of those last night! I literally hit the ground a moment after the opening shock ended. There was also a part of the dive where everyone was diving through this huge cube like a building frame, but made out of thin pieces of wood. It was very cloudy and dark...

AggieDave 6 #31 August 7, 2002 A lot of the skydiving dreams I have that I remember, I burn in. Then I get up, curse, dust myself off and get on the next load only to burn in again. This continues for a few more jumps and I eventually stop jumping that day because I'm getting annoyed with burning in each jump. Weird, huh?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marc11 0 #32 November 13, 2008 I've actually had a few. The first two just consisted of me opening rediculously low and somehow surviving even though my canopy hadn't even fully deployed by the time I hit the ground. My most recent dream was the craziest though. I had just gone on a bunch of tracking dives that day and I had a dream I was tracking. But I was tracking so well that I managed to track back to my house (about 100 miles away from the DZ), and track down to the ground with such a low fall rate that I just landed on the median of a long road near my house with no parachte. After landing on my belly, my horizontal speed was so great that I deployed my parachute after skidding for a while just to slow myself down (like drag cars do after they finish their quarter mile if you have ever seen them) ....I have some wack ass dreams EDIT: After reading about some of these dreams (especially the guy right above me), I realized that my dreams aren't really that wack.

PLFXpert 0 #33 November 13, 2008 QuoteAnyone here had dreams of skydiving? Only a couple. I had a couple so-called "flying" dreams when I was younger as well. I'm a dreamer in the literal sense. Bill always asks me how the hell I remember my dreams in such detail and how it is I seem to have such a memorable dream so often. Short answer: No idea. Longer answer: During the day my brain never stops. My doctor can't believe I sleep like rock. I fall right asleep. And I dream almost every night. And it's always really weird, nonsensical, not-so-often-anything-whatsoever-familiar stuff. I maybe had two skydiving dreams early on when I jumped every weekend. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuna-Salad 0 #34 November 14, 2008 it seems in all of my skydiving dreams my canopy opens >JUST in time for me to land safely. what's up with that??? - That about sums up most of mine. The recent ones anyway... that somehow I'm under a fully inflated canopy just high enough to flare (but I don't remember actually flaring)Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

NorrinRadd 0 #35 September 4, 2013 I have had my first skydiving dream. It was about doing my next solo. Just going over my dive flow, and doing it perfectly. Kinda nice!Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that's some good visualization. I hope it goes just like that for you. I've had all the dreams, from peaceful to scary. Not too many any more, though. Mostly I dream about fixing up houses for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
