^You what's weird? I had a dream once that I was diving out of a helicopter into the ocean (it was supposed to be something I was doing for charity). Really vivid too.
Water is supposed to symbolize the unconscious mind or soul experiences, water is a deeply spiritual symbol. The condition of the water (still, murky, rough, etc) is supposed to say something about the state of emotions. I read that helicopters and planes symbolize that you want something to happen fast. I don't know if I buy that interpretation. Perhaps it was time for you to 'transition' to a new mode of spiritual transportation?
