I?ve had this one. Crazy landing approaches in an airliner, flying under freeway interchanges and I?m the only passenger who seems to recognize this as abnormal! Always wake up (sweating) before I see how it ?turns out.?

Mine is I left a cleko in the most important hole in the airplane and can't find it. I just know the airrplane is going to fall apart. I usually wake up and go to the shop and start looking for it.

My weirdest one was that I was teaching someone how to fly an airplane (I am not a CFI) and something was going wrong when I figured out I was in the back seat of the plane and not in the co-pilot seat. That was empty.

I don't recall how the dream ended.

Miles, we must be using the same batch lot of Ambien

I can't recount how many times I've had that dream; but probably because it's a common daydream muse while driving. The other one is dreaming I've successfully landed on the 500' long river island behind/below my airstrip, ringed by tall trees, and there's no way I'm getting out again. If the dream lasts long enough it then involves a lot of stripping non-essential items to lighten the plane for the attempt

Edited to add: replied to this before realizing it was a LONG and OLD thread with LOTS of replies more or less identical to mine. Oh, well. Add me to the therapy group roster.

Final observation: in my ground school days when I had yet to ride in a small plane, I used to imagine the gas pedal was "right rudder" when driving up a mountain grade. True story.

Old thread, but fun Yep, same dream about the wires (haven't had one in a long time, though). Never able to escape. Be an interesting poll to see what percentage, of those who have had the dream, have been able to "escape" LOL!

I have occasional dreams about the plane or flying, usually just kind of random things. Last night, I dreamt that I had to store the plane away from the hangar for some reason for a short time, so put it in a sort of shop where several other RVs were being built. When I went back, the shop was filled with RV kits in various stages of construction, rows and rows of parts, etc., and I was unable to find my plane, nor had anybody seen it. Don't know what that means...

And yeah, also have had the dream about finals week in college, OR finding out that I had to present at a major milestone review coming up at work, and I never knew I was even on the project!

Obviously they used yours as a parts donor. The remains of the airframe are probably out back - when you go to sleep tonight, you should poke around and see.

I have read somewhere where a king had his interpreter beheaded for certain interpretations. This may qualify.

OMG! I too have the recurring dream about trying and failing to climb up and around and endless series of wires. I assumed it was a dream combination of piloting and driving a car since there are always wires above you when driving.

I used to have the wire dream years ago. Hope I don't have it again now that I've read this! Never did get above those wires before the dream ended. Maybe I'll find out if the dream starts up again.
