Mood: Work too much, kite too little.

So I had this dream...
Ok, I had this weird dream last night... :alien:
So I'm flying my matrix on the beach about to go riding on the water and a gust suddenly launches me into the air. I try to sheet out and stop the
lift on the sail but I can't stop the up ward motion. I let go of the bar and suddenly it's out of reach like ten feet above me and I'm plummeting! :o
Next I see the water coming at me fast so I climb the depower rope and grab the bar and sheet in... But it's too late! I smash into the water and wake
up.
So here's the question: any of you have kiting dreams? How often? Are they usually as scary as mine?
Just a funny experience I didn't think I could share with any one else.
Thanks PKF,

I had a dream that I got yanked 100 yards sideways into the ocean in the Bahamas. Once I landed in the water I lost control of the kite and it went
into a death spin and I went at basically mach speed under water and got deeper and deeper till I was 30' down or so, but it was crystal blue water
and I could see forever in every direction. It was a terrifyingly beautiful dream.

Had a few dreams where I was kiting in them, but they were jut blips in a bigger dream about something else. I did dream of a Riddick type scene,
where when being chased down, the person used a kite and special desert board to escape. Wish I remembered half the stuff I dream, but even if I tell
myself to remember my dream from in the dream, I forget all the details once awake.
what I fly/ride:
19m Flysurfer Speed 2 SA
12m Flysurfer Speed2
6m Ozone access xt
1.5m Ozone imp trainer
144cm Airush Switch
152cm lib tech skate banana
MBS Pro 90
Jereme Leafe Pro 95

Thanks for your replies. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I have had few great dreams of kiting. mostly boring but this one stuck with me.
This dream was so eerie because I remember the silence of being in the air and the horror of not coming down... The peaceful realization that it
might end this way, which its a weird thing too dream about so clearly.
Well, wishing you all happy kiting dreams!
And to all a good night.
Ps, I might have to write a version of twas the night before christmas with a more kiting flair haha:
Twas the night before christmas and all through the house, not a foil was stirring, not even an LEI....
...On Beamer! On Charger and Speed3 and Matrixx!
