Have you ever had a dream where you were flying? Just, lifting off the ground and going wherever you feel?

Well one day I did, while I was still awake, and it actually worked I swear!!

I was in my backyard, trying to figure out what I was going to do that day since all my friends had somehow accidentally synched up their schedules to be gone at the same time for the summer.There was no one else home until dinner, thankfully. So I had the backyard all to myself, absently thinking about my dream from the night before, and then….I was a few feet off the ground! It was weird honestly. I had always imagined it would be like swimming, I’d just have to kick my feet and wave my arms around. It was most definitely not. I did feel weightless, but a different kind than when I’m in the deep end at the pool. It’s hard to describe. Have you ever stuck your hand out of the window when you’re going like 80mph on the highway and you do that stupid fish-like motion with your hands before finally sticking it back inside because it was getting all cold and dry? Well, that’s kind of what it feels like to fly through the air, but instead of just your hand getting cold and dry, it’s your whole body. 

I tested it out in my backyard that day. Tried to propel myself through the air. It did not go well. I ran into the house, our fruit trees, and literally the air. I fell into the air like you would, tripping over your own feet when you’re walking. I finally got the hang of it though. It took me a few hours to brave going above my house. It took me a week to go out into the rest of the neighborhood. And eventually a month to go all around the city. I still haven’t gone to the next city over, but I’m working up to it. I know this may sound crazy, but I just needed to get it off my chest before I burst.
