I have been having a recurring dream- actually, the details differ, but the general action is the same. in this dream i am outdoors somewhere among good friends- luke, lyndsea, sarah- and we collectively observe the crashing of an aircraft in a most horrific manner. one night it was specifically an airfrance plane, spinning down like a corkscrew in flames. i couldn't stop crying and we were in the airport waiting to board one of our planes and everyone kept saying "be professional, stop crying" and "dont worry they're evacuating it's fine" but it really wasn't fine, i could tell....everyone was laughing and pretending like nothing had happened.
last night it was a ups cargo plane. we were standing near the runway and it took off and started climbing way too steeply,then it flipped over on its back in flames. same thing, everyone laughing and i'm crying hysterically.
i haven't heard of any real accidents in the news.
i also don't think these are necessarily nightmares either.
they're not realistic crashes, and i never happen to be in the plane when it is crashing... always watching from the ground.
it might not be a good idea to admit that i have a brief flash of fear everytime we take off and land. or maybe its like the ocean-- a small amount of fear equals a healthy respect for something that is bigger, more powerful, more mysterious than we are. once we lose that little bit of fear and respect, that's when things will go wrong.
i don't know, either way i'm a little weary of waking up disturbed and emotionally exhausted after these nighttime traumas. it certainly doesn't help when today happens to be a flying day.
