It's a short one, but possibly meaningful. I think.
I was flying. Soaring above the landscape so high that I could see over the mountains. When I held my arms out straight I could glide along effortlessly, and by holding them at my sides I shot through the air so that the landscape was a blur below. Then I landed.
I was in a town I didn't recognize. As soon as my feet touched the ground, I knew something was wrong. I tried to take off again, but I stayed where I was. Running down the street, I leapt into the air only to fall to the asphalt. In a moment of mad panic, I climbed to the roof of a three-storey house and tried jumping from the eave. I flew like a rock and landed in someone's garden.
At the edge of town was a cliff. It was miles high. As I threw myself over the edge, it didn't even occur to me what might happen if this plan failed. The rock face blurred past me while I gained speed. Finally, I spread my arms and pulled up out of the dive. I flew away from the strange town.
Hmm.... Reading back over that, it seems like there's a suicidal bent to it. That is definitely not the hidden meaning.
