I can relate heavily. The recurring ability to hover by kicking my legs around is profoundly liberating and a deeply familiar sensation at this point. Dreams feel like living a parallel life :)

The ability to levitate in dreams is very useful, because dreams typically are unable to make your legs actually move. Thus, the feeling of walking is not easily fantasized realistically, and immobility of the main character is not something that many the unpaid screenwriter will refuse to take lying down.
True! Life finds a way. I wonder whether real-life athletes etc. benefit from a more realistic dream legs simulation experience.
that sounds like a description of scuba diving to me, maybe worth a try if you haven’t
