OK, so after reading these, I dont feel so silly about sharing this dream I had a while back. All my friends laughed at me, to this day, I still hear the jokes.....but here goes. Before I ever had an inkling to jump out of a plane, I had a dream about a grasshopper. Dont know how I got there or anything, but there I was in the middle of a big field staring at a "huge" grasshopper. Hmmmm, what do I do, well jump on its back, of course! Off we go jump up WAAAAYYYYYY up high, we are in the clouds looking down, nice slow decent to ground. What next? DO IT AGAIN! UPPPPPP again we go, this time we fly around a bit before coming slowly down again. So no shit there I was, flying around on the back of a giant grasshopper, twisting, turning, flipping, etc, etc. Then I woke up. Hmmmm was this an omen?? Am I psychic? I had this dream months before my first jump. And funny enough, the view from and flight of the grasshopper is the same as from the canopy!

I had one last night - Christmas Eve. I think it might have been brought on by reading Kelly's recent mal experience. I was doing a solo and finished everything I wanted to do and realized I had extra time/altitude to spare (yeah, like that ever happens!) so I decided to feel all my handles. At that point it was pull time so I pulled.... MY RESERVE! Cause I had just touched it my hand went right back to it. The second I did it I realized what I had done. I watched the spring-loaded pilot chute shoot off my back and cussed myself for being such an idiot - especially since I just had my reserve repacked last week! I was also pissed cause I wouldn't be able to jump on Christmas then! Boy did it feel good to wake up from that one!
My all-time favorite skydiving dream is one I had a couple of months after I started jumping. I went to a new dz and there was a group of super-cool skydiving chicks that were jumping rigless. They would just cup air like crazy around 100 ft and tip toe down out of the sky. I was like "Wow! I want to be one of them!" I don't remember how it ended, but I remember thinking how scary that was gonna be on the first try without the rig! Don't you wish?!?!?!?!? No packing! Back-to-backs all day! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to have skydiving dreams all the time. Then I went almost a year without any. Last night I had two....
(I'll spare you the details of the boring one!)
I dreamt that I had a pilot chute in tow. I was at 9000ft. I decided to fight it, since I was so high. I reached around and tried to free the pin. I elbowed the container....I tried tracking to inflate the pilot chute (Does this sound like a recent thread to anyone else?????) THe main came out of the container, but did not open, so I chopped and pulled silver. Under my reserve, I was keeping level with people in freefall....WEIRD!
I landed on the tarmac, inches from the hangar. The DZO proceeded to yell at me and I got pissed!!! Did he not see my hellacious jump!!!!!
Anyway, I had two reserve rides that night....

Not really a dream, but..
I have trouble falling asleep. I can lay awake for hours, unless I am very tired. Living in a dorm this year isn't helping. I used to close my eyes and imagine that I was falling in silence through blackness, spinning fairly slowly. It gave me this really peaceful feeling, almost like being weightless. I would usually be out in a few minutes. Of course, now that I've started skydiving, instead of being peaceful, it's windy as hell, Vandalia is coming up at me, my heart rate goes up, and it doesn't help me sleep at all.
