Lee03 0 #1 February 11, 2004 Last night, I had a dream that I was jumping out of a CASA 212. My first jump was from a CASA, and I know that there are plans to have a CASA at my dz three times this year. Anyway, we were altitude, the ramp way lowered, myself and another jumper were on the ramp. I did a backflip of the ramp and started falling, belly to earth. I did a couple of backloops, and turns on the way down, checking altimeter per the normal, nothing unusual, I notice the ground is like 1000 ft and rushing up very fast! I frantically reach to pull the pilot chute, oddly enough I notice the airport runway, and I hit the ground! I hit just before the beginning of the runway. I feel no pain, actually feel no different than normal. Several jumpers that I know walk toward me and I get up and start walking toward them. At this point, I wake up. This dream has been on my mind all morning. I can't get it off of my mind. It's weird, it's kind of scary. I don't know what, if anything, to make out of it. Any thoughts on this?

MikeJD 0 #6 February 11, 2004 There was a similar thread recently in which people talked about dreams like yours. I've dreamed several times about impacting with nothing out and surviving. Usually I'm falling much more slowly than I should be, which helps! Sometimes it knocks the wind out me, though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites karenmeal 0 #7 February 11, 2004 I've had a dream where I went in.. then I got up out of the crater that I had made and looked around to see if anyone had seen my bonehead move... then pretended nothing happened. I have weird dreams though.. last night I dreamt that I was breast feeding a squirrel. WTF? was my boyfriend pinching my nipples in my sleep or something????

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites MochaSkyChick 0 #10 February 11, 2004 When I first started jumping I had tons of dream about hitting the ground and getting up. I even had a dream that I was standing in the landing area and jumpers were hitting the ground all around me but then they'd get up, pack, and be on the next load. I never really understood those dreams. Also, While I was learning how to pack I would have lots of malfunction dream but I contributed those to fear of giving myself a mal.

Kinda like Cronicles III, but then I always get up and feel find. I did have one though that kinda scared me, it was right before a boogie and I had a dream that I hit and got up fine, but then the next day I was in a body cast and there was no one there to help me. I was just alone, that was the scariest part. I tried to get up and somehow managed to move and walk and the dz was deserted, wind blowing, tumble weed effect. That one bothered me for awhile. I think I ended up breaking down that night. I think it was a result of too much stress<--- See look, pink dolphins DO exist! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites peacefuljeffrey 0 #15 February 12, 2004 All the time! I have had LOADS of skydiving dreams. My first jumps were back in '91 (2 static lines and one AFF - I) and then 2 static lines in '96 -- then 55 more jumps in this year. So way back in '91 soon after my first static line, I began having VIVID dreams of skydiving. Most recently, I dreamed I was on a platform atop a tower, readying with a bunch of friends to do a BASE jump. I was holding (clutching) a girder on the tower and realized that I had no rig on! I saw the rig on the platform on the opposite side of the girder from me, and now I was nearly paralyzed with fear, knowing that I'd have to let go of the girder to put on the rig (afraid of losing my balance). But some time before I put the rig on, I made some sort of dream-realization that I didn't need a parachute to get to the ground safely. I realized I could FLY. So I jumped off the platform with nothing on, and freefell for a while. when I got a ground-rush, I rotated to my feet very gently and gracefully, and mentally willed myself to slow my descent, and I touched down nice and gently. It was an awesome feeling. It was like power and freedom and indestructibility! I took that feeling out of the dream with me! That was less than a month ago. A few nights ago, I dreamed I looked up after deployment at a tangled mass or bubbling canopy wrapped in all sorts of line-overs. Looked like chewing gum wrapped in string. So I distinctly looked down at my chest, saw my green cutaway handle and my blue reserve handle, pulled one then the other, and I remember hoping that nothing would get messed up with the reserve. Moments later it was open and inflated and happy, and I did an off landing at SoBe -- just beyond the fence as the crow flies toward the old Skydive America hangar! There was a gate in the fence (not in real life, though) and a bunch of old Skydive Palm Beach regulars -- Lisa, Dave, Steve, Kim, Rob -- all came out to see me after my reserve ride and I started walking toward them. I said something witty or funny that I simply can't remember and I remember that I raised my arms, palms-up, like a "what are ya gonna do?" gesture. I am constantly amazed at how seemingly accurate my dreams that involve skydiving are. A lot of true-to-life stuff happens in them. I swear, it feels like PRACTICE. ---Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"
