      Cool Recurring dream from when I was younger

      When I was growing up, I lived on a street in which all of the houses were on one side of the street. The street came down hill and then flattened out about halfway through. Across the street was a grassy parkway. We would play baseball or football out there, behind that were woods and ponds and swamps.

      I would frequently dream that I was running down the grassy side hill and a big wind would pick me up and float me for a while. While this was happening, I would try to scream for help, but nothing would come out of my mouth. I don't remember many more details of this dream, except for seeing the grass down below me, and me flailing my arms around trying to get down.

      Thanks for looking at this!

      It looks like during the period of time when the dream was recurring, you were sometimes gripped by a kind of “rush of fear” (the strong wind, the silent scream for help)) when having to deal with facing the various practical challenges of growing up which were likely symbolized by the green grassy area and the woods etc.

      That’s because the color green in dreams is often related to the five senses, that is, to practical realities.

      The general “game of life” (e.g. the football and baseball you played in the grassy area) probably usually went OKAY but the more mysterious and difficult “forest, ponds and swamps” type of situations which were also “green” maybe were harder to handle at times.

      For a while, you might even have been in a little danger of just unconsciously wanting to somehow permanently escape certain “down-to-earth realities” as it were, but doing so was symbolically shown as being a mistake; e.g. you were shown as being very frightened by being above the ground (i.e. away from earthy, practical realities, and swept along uncontrollably by the “fearful” wind).

      So the dream might have been symbolically trying to get across that if a habit of “escaping” became too strong, it could create a scary and dangerous attitude of mind that could slow down your overall self-development over time.

      Anyway, without knowing anything much about you, this way of looking at your dream might not fit your personal circumstances very well, but I hope these ideas can be helpful in some way.

      Please feel free to ask any questions or to make any comments about this particular way of looking at your recurring dream.

      I typically can't run correctly in dreams, or talk or scream when in "fear" mode. Even when I have shot guns or tried to swing a weapon at an aggressive attacker in my dreams, the weapons typically do not work and slow motion happens too often. You really wanna trip yourself out? Try to use a phone or tv in your dream. Those never seem to work correctly in dreams, and can be used as a trigger to notify yourself that you are in a dream and become lucid and aware that you are in fact in a dream. Possibilities are endless if you pull this off.
