"I have a reoccurring dream where I'm searching for someone, walking through a city or the country side. soon I jump down some stairs or a hill. I realize the jump is further than normal, so I jump more and learn that if I hold my breath I can float just above the ground for as long as I hold my breath"

"I was running and I had to step in specific spots or else I would sink, it was a muddy/icy terrain. I met this lady and she helped me but then she fell and I saw that there was a nail going through her foot, but she only had two toes to it missed. I have a fear about ppl with missing limbs so I ran, and as I ran I kept sinking."
