The other day (just fresh from reading about flying/falling dreams on
the
List), I picked up _My Education: a Book of Dreams_ by William
Burroughs, a
book with which I have a long and not always friendly relationship. The
beginning of the book (pp. 3-5) has some very nice descriptions of
flying
dreams. Plus a good angel story on p. 17. And this (p. 5):
