Yes, as you mention it, I remember this kind of bad cars too. Maybe the brakes
were not completely "broken" but not strong enough.

I know this flying thing, too but not on purpose, the ability was there or it
wasn't. It was rather like a sort of floating or swimming in air. In so far
that it was possible to push away from a solid object (just like in a swimming
pool from the wall) and than keeping the inertia and movement just by some
small movement. Maybe comparable to ice-skaters when they try to spin around
there own axis as long as possible.
Cool thread, btw :)). And rather strange, all the similarities between dream
situations ...
