Dream: I help a boy fly

I was watching a boy with long red-orange hair (down his back; he was a mature ten-eleven year old). He was pretending to be a girl that wore glasses, I think because he was hiding from something or someone. Sometimes I was in him, other times I was just watching. I moved into him to help him fly or float. He could jump without effort when I moved him into the air, and when he did jump with effort, he would go 20-30 feet up into the air.

He was playing with this girl, running around on these rocks—I have been in the same dreamscape before—it’s a open area of grassy land with large smooth rocks still embedded in the ground, with the soil worn away from them. There is a waterfall to one side, where the water has worn down a path through the stone ground, leaving rougher, exposed stones. He would leap from rock to rock, flying through the air. He was afraid most of the time, until he realized although he wasn’t really in control of it he wasn’t being harmed.

Sometimes the girl would ask if he could hold her and jump so they would both fly, but he felt weird doing so. He was developing feelings for her and was still pretending to be a girl, so touching her at all made him feel weird when it shouldn’t have.

They had to hide in this closet—I moved out of him when he wasn’t flying or jumping and he was overcome by emotion and kissed the girl. At first she was okay with it, but then she moved away in surprise and started to say something about not wanting to be that way with girls. He let his voice go a little deeper but he’d been pretending so long it seemed strange to him. He took his glasses off and tried to convince her that he was a boy, not a girl, and that he’d been pretending to hide. She seemed relieved and hugged him around the neck.

Later, they were in a building that somehow reminded me of a McDonald’s play area, though that might have been because of the huge pipes tunneled along the ceiling. The people who were after him came and I moved into him to help him leap above them, lifting him to the ceiling and helping him grab hold of and climb along the pipes. Everything ended up okay.
