In the Dictionary: The Complete Guide to Interpreting Your Dreams<\/em><\/a>, there are ten common themes and symbols that appear in many people\u2019s dreams<\/a>.\u00a0 At the top of the list\u2026you guessed it\u2026nudity\u2026and flying.\u00a0\u00a0 Taken together, that is a lot of people who have dreams of flying naked.<\/p>\n Even in our dreams, we\u2019re all properly horrified, putting our hands in all the proper places, hiding for cover, asking everyone we see to please give us their shirt, their pants.\u00a0 After all, they\u2019ll still have their bra and underwear.<\/p>\n Writers, though, are the only group of people who can make a career out of taking the worst of a really bad situation and trying to have something good come from it.\u00a0 Flying naked?\u00a0 It may wake you in a panic, teeth chattering, hands clutching at the sheets\u2026but at least you can write about it.<\/p>\n At that point, getting beyond the first sentence of their story, many writers realize that their best work is done without clothes.\u00a0 Letting go of their last fear, an exposed writer is free to tell the truth.<\/p>\n Clothing?\u00a0 In the worst of cases, some writers may self-destruct when someone else comes into the room with a mirror for the sole purpose of exposing their nakedness.<\/p>\n But for the truly courageous writer, who keeps her eyes on the canvas\u2026<\/p>\n What a joyful discovery to learn that\u2026<\/p>\n If you fly high enough and well enough, people will quit looking for your clothes and they\u2019ll actually start to notice that they\u2019re naked, too.\u00a0 But neither of you will feel quite as badly as you did before.\u00a0 Or quite so afraid.\u00a0 And that will make you glad you started flying naked.\u00a0 And writing.<\/p>\n \n
