Hello DimAspiration,

Is this at all similar to the excitement you felt?
Very likely. I was excited and exhilarated because I knew it was a dream, even though it was totally vivid, like reality.

It sounds like you had much much more control than I.
You gotta be kidding. I didn't have any control at all. I would like to fly in a dream, like you did. In one dream I tried to levitate a bit off the ground, but that caused me to wake up.
