Hello DarkestDarkness. I never made the Men are from Mars connection, thanks for offering that up. Gives me something to think about. For me, I associate love with Venus. I wondered if the man in Venus was there to thwart any merging of the male/female selves? Or to stop the woman from getting to love? I don't know. He sure felt like an antagonist. Hope I meet him again. Machine assisted flying is cool ibut I never think to use it when I'm lucid. I just leap and hope for the best. The rocket boot thing was new for me. I liked it. It was effortless and smooth. My usual attempts at flying are almost always an awkward struggle. This dream, all the flying was strangely effortless. Was nice for a change.
