I love flying dreams too!
I think these are half unconscious OBE's, which is probably right before the lucidly dreaming state awareness.
Sometimes i become lucid in a dream, and do weird things like float broom handles, or once i was showing some relatives that i could fall face first down, but then right before i hit ground, stopp, hover, and pull myself back up...
These types of dreams always have a lot of freedom feeling to them.
Monroe had a series of dreams, and some repeat ones of flying (often in a plane, i think) before he started to have OBE experiences.
He seemed to believe that this was a way for his Total Self, I/There, to get him ready to have these experiences.
Maybe you will have an OBE soon?
Take care Bud_S, talk to you later.
Peace out yo,
Justin
