yeshniamhmcc 0 #1 July 3, 2013 Been having some serious dodgey dreams lately. My last one was a very low reserve opening which I actually landed with the canopy folded in my hand? Apparently I have some strong bones! (: Getting my first rig in a couple weeks I'm thinking I may be somewhat nervous about jumping it!! Anyone else get these kinda dreams before jumping something new? Not saying I'm freaking out or anything! ;) At the same time can't wait to jump it! Finally rid of bruising student gear :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrubin 0 #3 July 3, 2013 When I was doing AFF, my instructor spent a lot of time drilling EPs. He said he wanted us to be able to do them in our sleep. Well, it worked. Shortly after AFF I had a dream where I had a malfunction and performed my EPs flawlessly. Now I make it a habit to go through my EPs a couple times once I put my gear on. I even visualize them when I'm not at the dropzone. That way, when I need to do them, its not so scary because I've practiced it thousands of times."I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #4 July 3, 2013 No worries. You're not the only one who's had those weird dreams.It's cool you can do your EP's in your sleep. I've certainly done mine that way a time or two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DcloudZ 0 #9 July 9, 2013 I used to have many dreams like that as well haha Once, I went in with nothing out after a double mal.. Stood up to walk back to the packing area and I was totally pissed off at myself because everyone would be mad at me Another time I chopped my main and popped my reserve and it had holes in it "Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way." -Alan Watts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
