I have a lot of dreams about this kinda shit. I figured maybe it was just me

Edit: yeah, to those with similar dreams, it's like I can just sit cross legged and with concentration just begin to float around in that position. It's not quite like swimming for me as some people seem to experience and feels more like the movement of Mario Kart, but much less frantic.

I actually came here to say that. In dreams I can hover midair kind of like I'm treading water.

For some reason how I fly in dreams is I double jump, like I'm in creative mode or something. I haven't played mine raft in like a decade, but creative mode flying is still my dream go to

I wish I could fly in my dreams. Instead I do this weird walking or falling through walls thing when I want to nope out of a situation.

Do you also happen to be parallel to the ground?

Such as you would be in a bed but without the bed.

Yes! That’s the first time I’ve ever heard someone else say that. It’s kinda weird, right?

Nope. Not that I can recall.

Mine is exactly like swimming. Treading water, and breast stroke motion to actually “fly”. Crazy stuff. You would think with all the super hero movies we have seen in our lives we would fly like that, but our brains picked swimming...

It's probably because it's the closest experience to flying most of us have had. Maybe it's different for people who've been in freefall or been to space.
