I dreamed I was having my photograph taken with a group of people. Suddenly, I began to rise up and fly around the room. Half way around, I tried to get out the door. When I couldn't get out, I continued to fly around the room until I landed and sat down next to my mother who said I had done a good job!, Jonathan Borofsky, 1983
