Freud claimed people dream of sex when they dream of flying. Tells a lot about Freud, but very little about people's unconscious, deeply rooted desire for defying gravity. Everyone dreams of flight at some point in their lives. Not flying high in the sky like Superman, but lower. You're floating a few feet above the ground. Through the logic of dreams you know how to move, by flexing the muscles of your arms and shoulders, engaging your pectorals, the same muscles birds use, but you don't have wings.
There was such a dream just last night. A trainyard just below, and there I floated, just above the powerlines. They were freight trains. No people about, which is just as good. Gives a man some privacy. I wasn't wearing any pants.
Maybe it is about sex after all.
