staticnewbie 0 #26 March 1, 2003 Hey guys! I'd better point out that I only have 2 jumps (both static line), so have no idea what freefall is like. I had this weird dream but based loosely in fact. In real life: at the DZ the other day two of the instructors were running around, basically acting dumb (no difference there), and one of them charged through a door and slammed into one of the pilots. This old guy was really pissed and everyone started complaining that from then on we were all going to get bad spots. Anyway, the other night I had this dream that we were at about 18,000 ft (a dream remember) on a sunset load, then this old pilot guy decides he's going to jump out with us (and he's not a skydiver). When we jump it strangely turns into just me and him in the sky, but he's still pissed about being knocked over by the instructor, so won't fly with me. Anyhoo, I'm just freeflying around, having a ball (I hope that's what freefall really feels like), then I pull. When my canopy inflates, I see that the old guy has pulled too, and is a good distance away, so I decide to mess around with front riser turns. As I go into a sharp hook, I see the duffer below me, but I can't get out of his way. I spiral straight towards him, and my feet catch his canopy, causing it to collapse (all at about 7,000ft). He disappears above me, and I just laugh all the way to the ground. Am I just sick or something? Nick This username sucks, so I'm BBKid now instead. Replies, insults, sexual favours and death threats to be sent there from now on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AirMail 0 #27 March 1, 2003 I dream about skydiving frequently. Nothing in particular, just all about skydiving. Course, I think about it while I'm falling asleep and when I wake up, too. Oh yeah, and most of the day while I'm awake. Should I see a therapist? Patrick -- It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

BlindBrick 0 #28 March 1, 2003 Quote I have dreams where im flying. no chute but really good fun. feels like im pulling about 5g. I remeber having dreams like that when I was a kid. Except that mine were at night and the lights always seemed so beautiful. Besides having bad day sight, I am effectively night blind due to my eye condition. One of the main things I always loved about skydiving was I got into it when my eyes were causing other doors to be shut to me. Given that, there was no way I was going to take a restriction on my liscenses, so I did my night jumps. Before my first night jump I was incredibly terrified, so much that before the jump I called my family to let them know how much I loved them. It was a very cloudy night and our ceiling was a little under 6 grand. Our DZ does it backwards and makes your first night jump the formation one so you have an experienced jumper literally holdign your hand. Low ceiling, night-blind, and formation work all in one go! Oh, and I was jumping an FXC 12000. I was about pissing myself by climbout. We launched and funneled almost immediately. We flattened out for about half a second and I began trying to break free. At that time I was just thinking "let the fuck go of me so I can track and open!" When I finally broke free, I was one step away from total panic, tracking as hard as i could. I looked down though and everything became OK. I was tracking over the runway and the lights were sliding under just like in my dreams. As much as I love my fiancee, that night, that sight was the prettiest thing I have ever seen. I calmed down, deployed stable, and made it back home without incident. It was that beautiful and majestic dream-like expereince that gave me the courage to later go again and make my second night jump. -Blind"If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

Casch 0 #29 October 23, 2003 I had a dream last night that I was doing a hook turn to swoop a beach, and as soon as I was horizontal, the canopy completely deflated and I fell about 200 feet into the water. I was fine, but totally confused. I can't really describe the dream the way it made me feel, but it was friggin awesome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueWaterySky 0 #30 July 26, 2011 Quote i find myself hitting the ground, not injured but in shock. the dream doesn't awake me like i hit or anything Just browsing through in the middle of the night and was gonna make a new topic but as a good little lad I did a search first(ooyeah ) I had the same dreams when I started skydiving!!!! So funny to see others having the same kind of dream! First dream ; I climb out of a heli, to a platform under it. Pretty low altitude. I get focused and repeatedly touch my PC. Ok, ready set GO. Nice and stable exit, couple of seconds freefall and I pull. Nothing. Turn to one side and back to belly. Nothing. I look down, "sh*t thats it", and impact. In disbelief I'm laying on the grass unhurt. I look to my side and see my PC right next to me. I slowly get up, just stare at my PC for a couple of seconds before picking it up. I have a look around and think to myself "guess I'll start walking then....somewhere......... what the ** just happened?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
