Well, surprisingly, I know what you are talking about. Sometimes when I am dreaming, it is as though I am on ice with hot shoes, and I can glide along with perfect ease, and, yes, it becomes a great deal of fun to get fancy about it.

Anyway, you do not really need an actual skateboard, or, rather, a skateboard would be somewhat redundant. This being able to glide along on the ground is akin to the ability to levitate, and it probably is levitating, as I suppose what is really happening is that the Dreamer is levitating at about a very thin height above the ground.

Hmmmm. It suggests an invention. Pressurized cups on the bottom of ones feet which could pump out about 10lbs per square inch would simulate this frictionless 'slide' effect, would it not. It probably would not take much of an engine to achieve those pressures and flow, and it would work well enough as long as the surfaces involved were fairly even.
