dan_iv 0 #1 March 4, 2005 Background, falling asleep w/ watch that looks like altimeter = bad idea.... ok, here i am sleeping on my couch last night in the middle of a dream, yeah i'm in freefall and having fun then in my dream the ground seems to get too close. at this point i'm half asleep and half waking and i look over at my watch(looks like an alti), and both hands are pointed at the 1, so now I about crap my pants and start clutching my chest searching for my cutaway and reserve handles that obviously aren't there. After struggling for a minute and finally coming too and realizing that it's just a dream... man that scared that crap out of me... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

missg8tordivr 0 #3 March 4, 2005 I had a dream similar to that about two nights ago. Somehow ended up with a huge tear in my main and had to cut away. Was about 100 ft up when I pulled the reserve and it opened before I landed right in front of a building. I just sat up and though 'oh shit' what the hell just happened. If that really would have happened to me, I would have been a piece of art on the side of the building!!! *** F LORIDA! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dan_iv 0 #6 March 4, 2005 yeah, i've had a few others but this one made me laugh (after the fact), though cause i actually looked at my watch and freaked out cause I wasn't fully awake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #11 March 6, 2005 Clearly you just need to fall asleep on the couch before midnight. Much less panic that way."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Levin 0 #12 March 6, 2005 i had one a few nights ago. i was doing a hop 'n pop from the cessna at skydive east texas except we weren't at skydive east texas. i think we were in nacogdoches. the first person went out, i dunno who. then it was just me and the pilot. i didn't feel right about my rig but i jumped anyway. the freefall seamed real except there wasn't any freefall wind. after several seconds i threw my p/c out and it fell way down below me and was uncocked. i started realin' in the bridle and got the p/c and tried to cock it but the bridle wrapped around my container, but not around the reserve part. i pulled the reserve handle and the pop top and bridle came off but not the bag and then i landed on my feet next to a building where max (former dzo) was sitting at the table. i told him reserve didn't come out. we took the bag out of the container while it was still on my back and then i think that's when i woke up. in 8 years i can probably count the number of jumpin' dreams i've had on 2 hands. a couple of them were base. they were short dreams but cool. only one jumpin' dream was scary. that was back when i started.
