Cecilia Flying Pastel Art by Cecilia Brainard

I used to have fly­ing dreams. I made this pas­tel of a girl fly­ing. In my dream an Evil Thing was chas­ing me. I would run and hide but the Evil Thing per­sist­ed. Just before the Evil Thing would catch me, I would fly. In my dreams, I learned how to con­trol my flying.

The dreams recurred for years but some time, when I was already an adult and liv­ing in the US, the dreams stopped.

Please see also a recent pas­tel I made of my cat Che jump­ing over the moon.
