Dream me was convinced I could fly, but only if I held my breath and thought about the color blue.

I've had this flying dream for years, and I always woke up frustrated because I'd just fall. Last night, I was gliding over my old neighborhood and my dream friend said, 'You're breathing, dummy, that's why you're sinking.' I stopped, held my breath, and shot straight up. Woke up laughing. Has anyone else had a dream rule that took you forever to figure out?

Always thought it was about running fast, but mine is actually about not looking down.

Wait, yours is about breathing out slow?

Hold my breath? That sounds backwards to me. In my flying dreams, I have to breathe out slow and steady, like I'm blowing up a balloon. If I hold my breath, I get too heavy and drop like a rock. It took me a bunch of tries to get that right. Funny how everyone's brain makes up its own weird rulebook for this stuff.
