Funny thing is, I've always had this extreme fear of heights. In waking life I want to conquer this fear so badly that it sent me to the ledge of the Sears Tower, the tip of Pikes Peak and tumbling out of a plane at 13,000 feet in the air. These experiences were breathtaking, but none of them really helped me overcome my anxiety. Standing on the top of a ladder still sends chills down my spine.
Somehow, when I have dreams of flying I don't think twice about my fear. In my most recent flight, I vividly landed on top of a snowy mountain where I came up to a majestic snow leopard. A white blizzard overtook the pristine blue and purple skyline in the distance and I spotted a cliff. I felt a strong force holding me back from saving the leopard, yet at the same time my eyes were locked on this scene. A cold wind blasted me away and I woke up moments later.
This dream has been lingering in my mind for quite a few weeks, but the environment was so intriguing that I looked it up the very next day. This is an actual clip from my dream journal, dated 1.7.10
The internet says snow leopards represent an aspect of ourselves thriving in an environment others would consider harsh, and represents “strength of action” or “personal power” through silence and decisiveness. In my dream, there was snow all around but it felt like part of my element.
I probably had this dream because I was checking out images of the Aurora Borealis in Alaska. There's this wicked place with hot springs I'm planning on visiting once I graduate. Woot, woot!
Any thoughts on what this dream could mean are appreciated. :)
