Flying and Color

Dear Peregrin,

I'm literally flying by moving my arms. I soar and coast between buildings, I have to flap harder to get over electrical power lines, and the maneuvers get quite intricate and "hairy". It is such a rush. I enjoy it, I am not afraid, it doesn't scare me. I have perfect landings. I fly quite high and notice air traffic all around (planes). I also dream in color. What do these dreams mean?

Color Dreamer

Good morning, Color.

Flight has always been an expression of personal freedom for me. I find it interesting that power lines inhibit flight for you, just as they do for me. If one believes that the flying dream is an Out-Of-Body Experience, the power lines can represent the body's nervous system. Or, it could simply mean that the "powers that be" seek to take away or limit our freedom. In your dreams, you just have to work a little harder to get around these restrictions, indicating that you don't feel your freedom threatened by authorities.

As for color, it has been discovered that most people do dream in color after all. It seems that the age of black-and-white television influenced many people's dreams, to the point that mid-20th-century researchers thought that dreaming in black-and-white was the norm.

Pleasant dreams,

Peregrin
