You know, this has the makings of a decent video game for pilots... Several levels, different size planes, helicopters, get really good and the wires start moving...

I had nightmares but none were as bad as my Wife calling me at work to tell me the plane parts fell off the wall, I put them there to cure after painting. she got back at me because I comented on FB that she did not notice them on the wall.

I've had the powerline dream since childhood - waay before I became a pilot.

I've responded to a few bad aviation incidents during my career as an aircraft rescue firefighter. Where flying is what I do for recreation, I couldn't help but see myself in that situation. Every now and then I've had dreams about auguring in and woke up in a cold sweat.

Oh yeah, I've had the wire dream to.

I've never had the power lines dream. But I've had one multiple times where I do canyon runs (think the Star Wars trench run on the Death Star) through some gigantic state-sized city in a 727; it's rather fun

And I've also had ones where I have to circle or shoot through gaps in treetops (who knew there were thousand-foot-tall trees?) to get out of grass fields.

The worst ones, though, are the ones where I'm back in school and either have no pants on, or realize that it's finals week and I'm scheduled for a final in a class I never knew I was signed up for.

Default Wire dream

After I got my license in 1969 I had the wire dream for the next 30 years or so. It slowly diminished to the point that I rarely have it, though I did a week ago.

My flying-without-airplane dream goes like this: I dive off a high place such as a building as if going off a high dive. About half way down my flying ability "takes" and I soar up in the fashion of Superman.
