What was the last dream you remember?: I’m in an airplane that has just left LAX, as the plane’s ascending I feel as though my body is getting heavier with each foot it climbs. Though my body is not getting larger in size, I feel myself getting heavier, heavier, heavier with every moment. It gets to the point where I can’t move, can’t turn my head, can’t lift my arm to alert an attendant. The feeling of heaviness increases and my eyelids begin to close. I try to keep them open but they get heavier, heavier. The pilot comes on the loud speaker and explains there is a problem with the plane, stating something is adding extra weight. I can feel my seat sinking lower and lower. I still cannot move a muscle. All of the sudden my seat breaks out the bottom of the plane. I feel the wind across my body as im falling towards the earth. I am falling back first, I am now able to open my eyes. I see the plane with the hole in the bottom slowly get farther away. I see clouds pass me by as I fall through them. My body slowly starts to turn as I get closer to the earth. I see the ground coming closer to me with every moment, right as I hit the ground, I blink and I am back on the plane leaving LAX. This is a reoccurring dream i’ve had for about three years now.
