Not in this way. I would probably still be working at Fr\u00c3\u00b6jd and spent vacations instead of quitting. Now, when we&#8217;re two persons trying this out together, it feels much more meaningful to me and it isn&#8217;t half as scary. &#8220;Home is wherever I&#8217;m with you&#8221;, is very true to me. <\/p>\n<p>Second, dreams about flying.<br \/>\nIsn&#8217;t it a bit crazy to change your daily life just because your sleeping life is boring? Hopefully you&#8217;ll think so \ud83d\ude42 .<br \/>\nDuring my childhood I spent most of my nights flying, having lucid dreams or fighting criminals. Now, when I&#8217;ve been stationary at the same workplace for three years I havn&#8217;t had a single dream where I&#8217;ve gone flying.<br \/>\nUnfortunately! <\/p>\n<p>I remember having one when I visited Norway on my first vacation. But that was like two years ago. My dreaming life is at least as important to me as my waking life. It affects my decisions, alter my feelings and changes my destiny.<br \/>\nNow when I&#8217;m traveling again I&#8217;ve had countless of dreams where I&#8217;ve gone flying.
