Kite Flying

This is another of those lovely, windy, outdoorsy things that are fun to do! Once you launch your little construction of paper, string, and sticks up into the wind it becomes a twisting, tugging live thing on the end of your string. It's a kind of magic transformation, filled with possibilities and breathless laughter. Here is this construction, which is definitely heavier than air, riding above you on invisible wind, and for all intents and purposes, seems to be making a good attempt at lifting you off your feet and up into the sky behind it! Such a joyful sensation. A low-tech, energy friendly, simple delight.

Letting Go

Flying through the air on a trapeze, high above the crowd looks scary enough, but the crowd doesn't gasp with amazement until the artist lets go and take the risk of mis-timing their manoeuvre and falling into the net below! Hours of practise is required before a public performance is made, hours of wearing old clothes and making mistakes, false starts, and a collection of bruises. Right up to the moment of launching yourself into the air in your gorgeous costumes, and letting go before twisting and catching the other trapeze in front of the oohing audience, you really aren't sure if you will be successful. Risk taking.... I need more practise I think!

Travelling the Old Way


At the moment there are lots of people coming and going in my life and all this thought about flying has got my imagination going! Just packing your bag, grabbing the cat, and leaping onto your broomstick to launch yourself up into the night sky is an appealing idea from time to time. No airports, no security checks, and best of all, no cramped seating arrangements. I feel a cackle attack coming on...

Flying To the Moon

Night flying at its best! Twinkly stars, planets, a big full moon, who wouldn't want to be able to fly through all that? A sense of mystery and heading for an unknown destination. What will you see, how will the journey change you as a person? No noisy distractions to take your attention from the beauty and purpose of your dreamings. These are among my favourite dream travels, waking or sleeping, a welcome interlude from a more earthly existence!

Following the Shoreline

I often have flying dreams, and often imagine what it must be like to be a bird aloft in the wind. Following the shoreline is a good way to find your bearings in a strange place, and I love places where different environments merge, places of change and transition. Looking down on the world from a height gives you a completely different perspective too. I always enjoy these dreams from the sensation point of view, and there is always something to learn from to take back into my waking life. You don't have to follow any of the accepted rules and wisdoms of the world in your dream life and the symbols are all of your own creating - a wonderful creative opportunity to play.
