Candice Bergen: A Flying Fool

I am always flying. But very realistically. And it is very simple and easy. I just gently flap my arms and achieve liftoff. I can get about 15 to 20 feet of altitude. Just enough to flout it to people and be a general annoyance. I absolutely LOVE my flying dreams. They are pure bliss and I am always disappointed to wake up from them and realize how earthbound I am.

Joan Ganz Cooney's Very Mysterious Dreams

I am often about to go onstage to perform in a play but have not memorized my lines and am begging the director to let me read from the script. Or I am about to take a test I haven’t studied for, and haven’t read the books assigned. (Very mysterious dreams.)

Joan Juliet Buck's 'Dream' House?

Being on a plane on the runway and the plane doesn’t take off.

The great space-age room by the sea at low tide, under the main room in the house I own somewhere else that I completely forgot about but am still paying the mortgage on.

Why Is Liz Smith Dreaming About Diane Sawyer and Mike Nichols?

I frequently dream of my good friends, Diane Sawyer and Mike Nichols. Their happy marriage must be a powerful aphrodisiac for me. We have many adventures, Diane, Mike and Liz, and in the last one I had, she was expecting him home for dinner and I was supposed to be helping but then I had dropped his only good pair of pants in a big grease puddle. The thing about this dream is Diane never cooks dinner and Mike has plenty of pants. So figure it out, Dr. Freud!

LOSING/BREAKING TEETH!!! For YEARS I am always having these horrible dreams in which I’m grappling with teeth issues - either they break off or shatter, or simply fall out one by one, or worst of all - they MOVE back to their original positions before I got my braces (I had unbelievably crooked teeth as a kid)… I read this means I am experiencing insecurity of sorts. Someone else here mentioned it’s yet another expression of the “fear of losing control”. Typical for an anxiety sufferer, I guess. Maybe I will have to succumb to the Pharma industry and drug myself into a perpetual state of blissful calm after all…

My only recurring dreams throught the years are 1. Walking through a busy downtown core, getting lost, lots of turns right and left. and 2. my childhood house, which no longer exists. Now we just need a psychologist to come in and interpret these for us! Yes, I have read that about losing once’s teeth.

Almost all my dreams have young children or babies as the central characters and I am responsible for helping them or caring for them. Houses are also a recurring theme in my dreams and usually they are warm and cozy and filled with art.

As a child I had recurring dreams of the earth in a chaotic climate, there was ground shaking, and the ground began to split open. A huge abyss was forming, and people were falling into it. All of a sudden, I was aloft, flying over the entire situation. Watching and unable to do anything for those falling into the abyss. I never really got beyond that point. Later, from my teen years on, I saw myself floating, hovering, flying above the ground about 10-20 feet. I was flying above people and watching them. This is almost like an ‘awake’ dream or day dream. Like half awake, half asleep. I actually have had to look around to be sure where I am. It’s a strange kind of feeling… hmmm

Ironically, I was watching the “History” channel and saw a piece about us having parallel universes, and more. It certainly gives one pause, to reconsider all aspects of our existence. From a purely scientific point of view, there was much discussion about the theories of quantum physics as well. I have often had those kind of moments in which something which is supposedly a new place, or time seems so familiar to me. Some refer to it as dejavue. According to the scientist, there are actually many different parallel universes happening all at the same time. It is too awesome, weird, exciting, scarey, and thrilling, all at the same time for me. How confusing is that?

I haven’t had this one for a number of years now, but in the past I periodically dreamed that I was trying to swim in a sea of lime Jell-o.
