Interesting. I usually have these amazing skydiving dreams.... landing on beaches, drinking beer while skydiving, skydiving with four naked women while drinking beer..???
Then for the first time last night, I had a skydive nightmare. I struggled to get the pilot chute out. I managed to throw it out at 10 feet above the ground into a bag lock. Hit the ground, noticed it didn't hurt, then walked away... Way to weird.
I had been practicing emergency procedures earlier that day... why I didn't follow them in the dream scares me a little.
