Superman32 0 #1 October 8, 2005 I just had a really scary, stupid and very vivid skydiving dream. I was in freefall and when I pulled, the canopy just kinda snivelled but didn't really open, so I did a really nice arch/box to allow for good body position in order to help the opening. Nothing. So I decide to cut away. but instead of pulling the cutaway handle, I started to pull the reserve instead, but realized what I was doing and tried to stop but it was to late. I got really scared about having an entanglement so I quickly went to the other handle and chopped it. Here where it gets weird and funny... No entanglement of main and reserve because the reserve just went away. The lines streched but just kept going... I looked up to see that main had opened and the 3 rings had not yet released. In an almost panic I dropped my handles, grabbed the risers and tied them to my chest strap. I finished tying them and hit the ground. PLF'd like it was nothing and took it for a repack. Spent the rest of my dream looking for my handles Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StreetScooby 5 #2 October 8, 2005 I have this kind of dream frequently. I'm in freefall, everyone tracks away, I watch them, look down, the ground is right there, and I land just like I jumped from 3 feet up. Then, I walk away like it was nothing. Also, sometmes I'll be trapped underwater. When I'm almost out of air, I just start breathing underwater. No big deal. Just do it. We are all engines of karma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ntrprnr 0 #4 October 8, 2005 Since I started jumping in May I've had at least five skydiving dreams. Never a mal in the dream, but ALWAYS a really slow snivel, a cut-away, and then an attempted PLF. Of course, last week I dreamed that I got shot five times, and I vividly remember the bullets going into my body and thinking "as long as you keep moving, you won't be paralyzed from the bullets." We're all weirdos._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Superman32 0 #6 October 9, 2005 I had another one about an ex-girlfriend, who claims she will never jump. She was jumping and just about to pull when I saw that there was a bunch of people above her. They sure would collide, so I tracked to her and pushed her out of the way. and people hit me. I was very scared for her Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches!

Loonix 0 #7 October 9, 2005 heh. time's 6 am here, couldn't sleep any more. (no, this wasn't a nightmare i woke up from, but anyway)... I was tracking, watching the ground come closer.. Looked at my altimeter, but all I had was a clock, that showed 3:00 .. I somehow interpreted this that I still had time .. Waited a bit longer, then pulled. At that time, the groundrush was getting intense. So I look up, and it just keeps sniveling, I look down, ground approaches faster and faster.. I almost had my hand on the cutaway handle when it opened. Then I landed out, and was wondering how to get back to the dropzone. I've had the hit-the-ground-and-walk-away dream once too, and another time I was in freefall, tried to pull but I couldn't find the handle... So I went for the cutaway handle, and tried to pull it, but couldn't... pulled and pulled, it veeeeery slowly began to give. Then I eventually got it... there's my dreamstories. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
