S6E236 - They Remember Flying

from Strange Places Hosted by Billie Dean Shoemate III

What if your childhood memories weren’t dreams at all? Across Reddit, forums, and social media, thousands of people have started sharing the same bizarre memory: as children, they could float. Some describe hovering above their beds. Others remember “flying” down staircases, gliding through hallways, or drifting effortlessly through the air before suddenly losing the ability as they got older. Were these lucid dreams? False memories? Sleep paralysis? Or is something stranger hiding beneath a shared experience that people around the world remember in almost identical detail? Tonight on Strange Places, we dive into the unsettling phenomenon of childhood floating memories, the psychology behind them, the eerie similarities between stories, and why the internet has suddenly become flooded with people asking the same question: “Did anyone else used to be able to fly when they were little?” ----------------- Head to asylum817.com - the official website of the host and visual artist, Billie Dean Shoemate III ----------------- This podcast can also be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Pandora, and wherever you get your Podcast listening experience. ----------------- Want to advertise on the show?
