Flying monkey

Category: Superpowers

Lucid: Yes

Hours of sleep: 2

Two nights ago I was dreaming I was sitting on the side of a hill with lush green grass.

I had a great view over an African savannah, and a monkey was sitting on my shoulder.

My consciousness kicked in and turned this dream into a lucid one.

I felt like flying.

I jumped off the ground and started to fly, but I felt like someone was holding me back and trying to pull me towards the ground... instead of panicking over the fact that I hadn't total control of my dream I just "mantra-ed" for myself: "FLY FLY FLY FLY FLY FLY" and soon the hands trying to hold me down lost their grip and I started to soar high.

The monkey was still on my shoulders. He sent a mental image into my head of a thick green jungle. Apparently he didn't feel like home in this brown African savannah. I decided I would fly straight forward until we found this jungle of his, so me and the monkey flew into the sunset and I woke up.

Sleeps.com says: "Flying dreams are normally a good omen and if the flight is pleasant, with no worries and anxietes, you can look for happiness and plenty to follow.

Animals most often represent that aspect of ourselves, or parts of our personality, that are present in our ordinary life. It is generally given that the more primitive the animal then the more primitive or deeper the layer of consciousness that represents.

What the animal is doing in the dream is also very important, if say, a pig is dancing, then maybe that means that the side of you that likes to over indulge is very happy with that. But if the pig were crying then that might indicate an inner urge to curb and over indulge in habit."

Maybe the monkey in me needs to find his jungle?
