Umm, nothing as cool as yours, and mine could be actually be some sort
of an nightmare rather than a dream. I really don't remember much of
it as it's quite long time ago I "saw" this, but I'll do my best.
Okay here we go.
(Dreammode ON)
I was B.A.S.E. jumping with my friend and had lots of
fun during the day, and it was cool that we didn't need to climb to
the mountain all the time (hey, it was a dream :) and we could spend
more time on jumping. Then on a one jump, I was doing a tracking jump
and everything went fine, until I found myself way too low, I think it
was somthing like 100ft or so, and realised that I had my skydiving
rig instead of a base rig and thought hell this thing won't open
quickly enough to save me, well, it did. I woke up.
(Dreammode OFF)
I'd say quite an dream since I've never been B.A.S.E. jumping. :)

well i would say that could be a problem. make sure you dont find yourself that low with a a nice square,stable and steerable main(or even a reserve if need be!)

Well, here I am again. I just cannot resit this forum. I had a dream that i didn't have my rig on that every time I put my arms out, it was like a parachute. I landed in a PLF the first time, but then (in my dreeam) I really wanted to go up again. Again, the second time I didn't time I didn''t have my rig on, and I put my arms out the same and landed perfect. It was awesome..

I don't have them alot anymore, but my first year, I used to have these "NIGHTMARES" that I jump with no altimeter. It used to scare the shit out of me. I would wake up in a sweat.
Seems really silly now, lots of people jump with no Altimeter.

I've actually had a few skydiving dreams lately. Just the other night, I had a dream that somehow I got my own main wrapped around me, but managed to get the reserve out. I landed safely with my main wrapped around my entire body (incl. my face). I think. It was confusing...lol.

I had this dream when I first started skydiving, but I can still remember it because it was so cool. I dreamed that my dropzone was on a moving island in the sky. There were clouds on the edges of it, so you couldn't tell where the land and the sky separated. People would be flying off of it, and landing, but noone had parachutes, people just flew around like birds. It was probably the best dream I ever had.

I had a dream last night that I had a beer in my hand instead of the altimeter. It was a can of Bud. Something was going through my mind that I wanted to see if you could drink it on the way down. I somehow lost half of it because it was streaming out of the top like a contrail. I opened, stowed my slider and finished the beer.
Note to self: Not so many mushrooms in the stirfry so close to bed time.

I've had the same idea. Has anyone actually tried this? Probably would be better flying on your back when opening the can. :)

No, but I drank a...ahhh..."coke" while under canopy once. We were doing a 5 mile cross country from 11k. Really fun, actually, nice sunset load. Just hold the can to your side, though, since they sort of shake up a bit when you ride to altitude. Oh, don't drop it either, those things could take out an Afgan tank with the velocity they would get...

One thing to consider about drinking anything on a long canopy ride. I have heard more than one story of guy at 8,000 ft. On his third beverage and now realizes he has to pee. Not an easy proposition while hanging in the harness...."I got some beers....Let's Drink em!!!"

OK. DOES THE "BEVERAGE" FOAM LIKE CRAZY DUE TO THE LACKING ATMOPHERIC PRESSURE? OR IS IT NOT THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE?(I KNOW THAT THING IS SHAKEN LIKE CRAZY BUT WOULDNT IT FLOW OVER ANYWAY?

Crap, I don't know, all I know is that it sprayed everywhere. I figured it was do to the can vibrating against the plane on the way to altitude.

ah, just figured i'd ask. i guess the important thing is that you were able to consume most of it!
