As I child I always used to try to fly in my dreams. All it took was
running across my yard and flapping my arms. I'm not sure if I
ever got off the ground and had a "bird's eye view", I think I
generally woke up. There is that tricky problem your brain
must have in a dream where you are rolling along fine and the
next thing it has to do is provide an image of you looking down
at the top of your house -- oppps, the recall mental image
processor comes up empty -- time for a scene shift.

Of course as you get older and you have reality checks in place,
you probably gain a censorship process so you never even imagine
what it is like to fly.

Too bad as adults, we lose the dreams of childhood.
