Deep in the center of my chest there is a place, an organ or muscle that seems to be constantly clenched. In dreams, when I consciously let that go, the lightness that replaces it lifts me and by willing or "pushing" that lightness, I can control the direction and speed of my motion. Sometimes I test myself by seeing how high and fast I can go before I start to get frightened but as soon as I allow myself to feel fear or any kind of tension, I start to fall. As I descend, I lift my head, close my eyes and let go again, slowing myself until I gently touch ground.
I want to feel that lightness all the time, even when I'm awake. I want to live "unclenched." I want to fly.
