When someone chases me, I can do the breast stroke, and my body lifts up to the sky. I fly doing the crawl. (I was on a swim team for 9 years when I was a kid.)
I, too, am afraid of heights (phobic, actually; I could vomit!), and I am even afraid of them in my dream. I will only go high enough for the person to not reach me--not as high as the top of any tree. If I get that high, I have to stop swimming and wait until I get lower.
This is actually a good thing, my therapist says. We are people who know how to get out of sticky situations--even in our dreams. He has clients who have terrible dreams, and he says he's able to explain to them that if wolves can chase them, the dreamers can make the wolves disappear. They just have to know that anything's possible in a dream and that nothing can hurt you there if you don't let it. They usually "practice" this by a gentle reminder at night, and their dreams become safe. Sometimes the wolves stay gone.
