Even though I’m well into what some would call adulthood, I still have the occasional dream involving flight.

Each of the examples shows people with a high degree of expertise in what they do, but it still makes for some nerve-wracking moments.
Thankfully, I’m watching the video at home in my pyjamas, so the risk is minimal:
