We all know how silly some dreams can be. They can also be quite similar. My pal, Jeff, had one such dream. His consisted of his own flying of a motor home through bad winter weather with only one chance at a landing on a short, dirt strip. The performance of the motor home was so bad that there was no way he could perform a go around. It was one attempt or nothing. He made it. His wife, Tammy, was heard to say, “Well, everyone knows you don’t attempt to fly a motor home in the winter”!
I was reminded of the time that I dreamt that the government decided to conduct a test concerning the ability of a bunch of dirt bag beater pilots to fly an advanced fighter like the F4. So they delivered a squadron of F4s to my friends and me at a little 3,000 foot dirt strip in Southern Oregon. With a mixture of temerity and cockiness, we all hoisted ourselves up into the fighters, started them up and took off. You know something, they still flew like the Cubs and T Crafts we normally flew. They simply put us higher with more switches and knobs!
Yep, dreams can sure be silly… but they can also be a lot of fun!
