When you are preparing to do something impossible in your dream, like fly, is their a certain ritual, or specific steps you have to follow before you can do it?

Like, for me, if I’m going to fly, I have to hold my arms straight out, really stiff, and start pumping them up and down really hard. It’s sort of like I’m pumping air into my body or something, and finally I will slowly take off. The further I get from the earth the easier it is. Kind of like I’m attached to a rubber band that wants to pull me down, but I keep pulling away until it snaps and suddenly there is NO resistance at all. (I got a hint from my dad once about it. In total seriousness he told me that if I start from a high point, like a roof, it’s easier. He was right. My dad was cool!!)

And, like, if I’m going to float through a ceiling I have to have absolute, utter faith that I can do it, or I’m SOL. (One time I lost my faith half way through the ceiling and got stuck! My waist up was in the attic, and from the waist down was in the bedroom. Sucked. I knew I had to either regain my faith or wake the hell up. I regained my faith because I had a great adventure to go on and I didn’t WANT to wake the hell up!
