Antigravity tube!

[bascule]

So seriously, I didn't make this up...

 

Last night I had a dream about this crazy antigravity tube. The way it worked was as soon as you stepped into the tube you were drawn into the center. When you walked into the tube they had to attach some weird pink cylinder to the ceiling of the tube to offset your mass, like the mass of objects on the ceiling made up for the mass of the objects in the tube. Somehow. Or whatever. Also there was a dragon boat you could ride on that would fly around the inside of the tube. (Note: Dragon boat didn't flap its wings, instead it had ROCKETS)

 

Awesome! After I woke up I thought about ways my crazy antigravity tube could be made more practical, like using liquid to balance out the mass of any objects inserted into the tube rather than the weird pink urinal cake things. I was also curious about the mass ratio between myself and the pink urinal cakes but I guess my dreambrain didn't get that far. Oh well.

I can fly in my dreams, does that count?

here's a frog having the same experience but without the dragon boat and urinal cakes.

They also did it with a strawberry.
