What devolve is referring to (I think) is an OOBE, or Out of body experience. Those normally “happen” to persons who are near death, as far as I know.

I’m not sure if this is what you are referring to potlatch, but I occasionally can “fly” in my dreams as well.

For me, these flights occur after surmounting some very difficult obstacle or dilemma, be it personal or work related. Usually, I fly around a local area, but I have flown as far as 1500 miles away. While flying, I am fully aware that it is wholly physically impossible, but I convince myself it is simply a matter of will, which is what keep me airborne.

I find them exhilarating and refreshing. Especially the waking up and laughing about it, while simultaneously feeling pure joy AND loss at the same time...

That poor dog though, I felt badly for her even as I laughed at its predicament.
