Suddenly, his childhood dreams of his body in flight come rushing back to him in a conscious reawakening of his belief in his own latent power. Despite therapy and the frustration of his wife, George cannot be dissuaded from his growing obsession to fly-and the lines between his dream life and his waking life begin to blur.

If you've ever had a flying dream...
