Dear June:

Is it that you imagine that you are a leaf on the ocean or is it that you feel like you are floating? In either case, do you feel that it  is  an abnormal imagery/ sensation?

I don’t think it is abnormal, after all,  our brain is an amazing organ with many  thousands, maybe  hundreds  of thousands of neuropathways, connection between nerve cells, allowing us to see  what  really is out there and to see images produced in our brains.  We  can see so many images when we close our eyes, awake or asleep. The images we saw before, in life, in movies are stored and appear while no longer in front  of us. Same with sounds, smells and  tastes. Same with bodily sensations like floating.

Dear June:

You are welcome.

I don’t  understand: if you felt like floating on water, but you were not floating on water, it was not reality, was it, I mean, you were not really floating on water, no?

And if you were not floating on water, and  it was  not imagination, what do you think it  was?

Dear June:

I once dreamed, maybe it was a time between sleeping and being awake, that I was like a bird, flying among the clouds, flying around the clouds, my arms spread. It felt  so real, the cool air around me, the feeling  of freedom, the flying with no effort, no difficulty. It felt so good. I  don’t remember how  old I was. But for a long time I wanted to believe that I really did fly in the sky. I wanted that feeling  again. I didn’t like the idea that it was not real.

You are welcome, June. Have a wonderful day yourself.
