Forgetting how to fly

by John
(Germany)

When I was younger, dreams of flight were very common. I was very free and had no restrictions what so ever.

As time has gone on, I still have the dream and while many of the aspects remain the same, including the scenery (outside the house I grew up in, on the sidewalk or in the street right next to the house), I now have trouble flying.

I can either jump really high or hover just above the ground for a short distance. I feel frustrated because I know that I can fly but I am only able to perform actions that are a meer shadow of what I used to be able to do.

I try over and over again and usually (not always) by the end of the dream I have lost all ability to perform any action related to flight at all, whether it was hovering or jumping higher than normal.
