Interesting phone call...

So I got a VM from my half-brother this afternoon. And I just got off the phone with him... we chatted for almost an hour. I probably haven't talked to him in a year or 2. He lives in Maine and don't think I've seen him in person in about 10+ years. He now has an almost 3 year old daughter, who I obviously haven't met yet. It was good to catch up, but just crazy to hear what he's up to and how he's grown up. And hearing him talk like a Dad is funny. Of course he was calling to chat with our Dad, who was unavailable, as it is Father's Day. They haven't seen/spoken to each other in the same amount of time as me. They will have to catch up soon. And think we all need to be in touch more often.

I dreamed of flying...

Ever since I was little, people around me said that everyone dreams they are flying at one point or another. And until last night I never had... at least not that I remember. But in my dream last night I was in this area of rolling hills and was with a group of people. I think it was some amateur film/acting scenario because at one point I was holding a video camera. But we ended up on this very high plateau and were filming up there. I remember looking down over the edge at some point and was kind of freaked out because it was a long way down. I'm not afraid of heights, in real life or my dream, but the cliff was so drastic that I was afraid I'd fall off.

But then at some point I ended up with some sort of wings attached to my back and had grips to hold onto. I never really had a good look at the device, but remember it being on the small side. Not anything like a hang glider. And with this device I just stepped off the edge and soared. I was really high up as the wind kept carrying me. I could see my friends on that plateau looking like ants. and I just flew above all the rolling hills and it was beautiful. I remember having a nervous excited feeling as I was up there, but I was having too much fun. Then my fear was how to get down without crashing. I made my way down slowly, but at the end I landed a little abruptly, but I was ok. It was a lot of fun.

Now I know I personally wasn't flying myself, and was using a contraptions. So not sure if that counts for a "flying dream". But It was technically the first one where I was soaring high above the land. Too cool!!
