Inside

This is just a marker to indicate another plane dream. Can't recall any details. Only an impression that I was inside the plane. This is a change. I usually see from the plane's POV.

Reckless flying

In the air again. This time in a small plane being flown by female friend. We arrived in the vicinity of our destination, flew a few rather wild loops and made a steep descent. Backwards. Which seemed a little reckless and unlikely to end well. But we landed safely in a field just outside of Tesco. (I could not make these up!) So I got out and went shopping.

Round trip

Somehow the person I was with had taken over the controls in flight. After flying for some distance he managed to land the plane on water and we got to the shore. Suddenly it occurred to me that we might not be able to get back. I asked him if he knew how to start the plane again. He said it was alright, we could go home in the car. I wasn't happy about this, not feeling safe in the fast car on the narrow roads.

It seems strange now - but didn't in the dream - that I felt more unsafe in the car that the other person was confident about driving, than in the plane that I knew he didn't really know how to control.

Why don't I trust the ground? Am I right or wrong not to trust it? Does flight in these dreams symbolise 'flight of fantasy' or 'flight from the mundane'?

I know, and knew in my dream, that flying is considerably safer than driving.

Landing

Back to the flying dreams again. Coming in to land this time past a long row of dark tenement buildings that are being demolished. Large sections have fallen away from the end of the row, leaving gaping holes and the ground is littered with debris. A disused railway line runs below, the tracks are rusted.
