Pilot Dreams

[race#53]

Anyone else have a recurring dream that you are taking off and wires keep getting in your way and you are not sure if you should climb or dive to miss them?
Another that you are backing up the car and the more you press on the brakes the faster you go?

Anyone care to add others?

PS, i am not sleeping tonight!!!

 

[hobbsmeter]

No, but I did have a dream last night that a giraffe was trying to kill me.

 

[Cardinal]

I had a dream that I pedaled (as in bicycle pedals) a 727 from LAX to ONT. Even shot an ILS, while pedaling, through a low scattered layer.

 

[BannerTowPilot]

That happened to me once and I learned to back up and make sure I think I have enough dirt in front of me to clear the wires.

Semper Fi

And people thought I was nuts.

 

[HU-16]

I dream of monster trucks and midgets. Sometimes there is a penguin there too! What does it mean?

 

[crash-proof]

The worst dreams relate to experiences or fears you're goin thru. I just turned new homeowner, after renting apts all my life. And after 1 month I still haven't met all the neighbors yet but i sure do notice them staring suspiciously at us when we get home.
So I've been dreaming that me and my wife have barricaded ourselves at home while the neighbors try to peer inside the house!!!

Scary...

Absolutely. Wires and tree limbs, all the time. Although it doesn't seem to happen as much now as it did when I was younger.

 

[jdog78]

Every now and then, usually when i'm stressed out, I dream about attempting to fly a plane off some city street and wondering if I can clear the power lines. Sometimes I have to take evasive action but I haven't clipped one yet (knock on wood)! I imagine if I do eventually clip any powerlines or tree limbs in my dreams, there will be a mess to clean up in the morning.

jdog,

Good point!

Even though I used to have the power lines/tree limbs dreams fairly often, I always managed to avoid them.

 

[Dash8]

ever have a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid, with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?

why am i the only one who has that dream?

 

[Smoking Man]

What about the one with the Hot chick in the leather nurse outfit and a box of jelly donuts! Did I mention that you had been bad?



MMMMMmmmmmmmmmm DOOOOONuTs

 

[EagleRJ]

I had one that there was a fight back in the cabin, and when I went back to break it up, I found it was one of our tiniest flight attendants who was raging on the passengers.

Looks like someone's got a case of the Mondays!

 

[prodigal]

I dreamed that I was playing for the Atlanta Braves and they wanted to check my bat for cork. But it was good to be on the diamond again!

 

[slickmagneto]

MMMMMMMMMM Drugs are BAD! OK

 

[Styles]

Flying inverted the whole trip but nothing you do can right the plane even landing upside down; Now here is the strange part. The pax act like nothing is wrong!!!!!

I have had this one a couple of times.

 

[wingnutt]

man, y'all are strange...my dreams mostly involve Brooke Burke and lots of Jello

 

[surfnole]

I've had a dream many times where I am a passenger on a commercial flight and the pilot never goes over 100 feet altitude. Flying down city streets through skyscrapers, under power lines etc. Thinking to myself, when is this guy going to quit showboating.

 

[dmspilot00]

Before I started learning to fly, there was a dream I had about a commercial flight I was about to take. The inside of the airplane was bare beams and girders with yellow insulation in between. Seating consisted of wooden folding chairs. However, the flight attendants gave passengers the option of sitting outside on park benches attached to beams extending from the outside of the fuselage.

After staring to learn to fly, I had several dreams of trying to taxi a C152 or whatever on city roads and highways, as if it was a normal thing to do. One dream was of a lesson with my CFI who was coaching me to "keep the nosewheel on the double yellow."

 

[KickSave]

I had one, it was a nightmare really, about a year ago, probably between when I was working on my private and instrument.

I was standing on the beach near San Diego, and I saw what amounted to a squadron of miscelaneous planes approaching from offshore. All different shapes and sizes and types - 172's, light twins, biz jets, smaller airliners. They were coming in low, and heading towards downtown. As they passed over head, I began hearing explosions as they crashed one by one into every building on the city skyline. Right about when I was running for cover, I woke up freaked out. Obviously, some sort of post 9/11 fears, combined with a new aviation career, had floated to the top of my head. Not fun!

Brooke Burke sounds like a much better idea

 

[SDF2BUF2MCO]

Lots of dreams about power lines and trying to avoid them. Never having enough altitude to go over them.

Riding to France or England on a UPS ship and my buddies telling me not worry about a passport they'll get me through customs. Then running all over Europe worrying I'm going to get caught.

Hanging out with Bill Clinton and thinking this guy is nothing more than a cheap thug but he can sure pick up the babes!

See my new avatar. Funny this came up right after I changed it a couple of days ago.

 

[Typhoon1244]

I used to have a dream about the Starship Enterprise--which for some reason had giant Wingtip shoes over the warp field shrouds--attacking a giant box of drinking straws.

I'm back on my meds now, though...

 

[sbav8r]

I always run into power lines and go straight through them. It's weird becuse they are always atleast 5,000 feet or higher.

I've been shot in dreams more times than I can remember and when I have falling dreams I always hit the ground. So much for the old wise tale. Infact once in high school I was nodding off in the middle of pre-calc and had a falling dream. I awoke screaming in a cold sweat to the amusement of the class. The teacher was far from amused.

My only recurring dream consists of a guy with a white face, he has no features at all. He drives a Mad Max looking black car and his featureless white face shakes rapidly back and forth, moving so fast it's almost like it's viberating. He chases me through streets, back yards, and even plows through houses to hit me. Sometimes he gets me and sometimes I get away.

Ever have the dream where you have to defend yourself but you can't hardly move? It's like your moving in slow motion but the other guy is in normal speed.

I was dosing off in H.S. Biology, at one of those large lab tables, with my hand holding up my head. When I finally went to sleep My head slipped off and smacked the table. Even the teacher was amused at that one. Left a mark too.

 

[bugchaser]

I know it sounds crazy but I have had the dream about the wires lots of times. Flying down the street and cannot decide where to pull out. I have also had the one about the car. I am going in reverse and cannot get it to stop. When the brakes don't work, I put it in drive and step on the gas and still I am going backwards. I wonder what these dreams mean? Probably don't want to know. And I have also had the Brooke Burke dream a few times too.

Power line dreams

Add me to the list of power line dreamers - ever since I was a little kid and just as described in this thread.

Anyone ever had it analyzed? Seems like a little more than just a fluke with this many pilots who have it as recurring thing.

On the bright side, be glad you're not a plumber and dodging things in your dreams.
