Flying, how difficult is it for you?

For me it varies from dream to dream. Sometimes I accidentally float off the ground without really thinking about it. Other times I’m lucky if I can even get off the ground at all. Generally though, flying comes very naturally. Scarily enough, any time I want to fly really, really well I just remember something I heard in some old cartoon: “To fly, just place all of your energy in your feet and let it guide you.” I’m not really sure why it works for me, but it does.

flying is one of the first things i learned , i think it will come in anyones head eventually … :smile:

In my 2nd LD (not recorded online), I flew with the help of some of your (collective) advice - try “swimming” up. It worked. The side effect was that the ground turned to water when I blinked.

Unlike what seems to be everyone else, I still have trouble flying without the aid of something. Usually when i fly i summon a broom or something and use that to fly with. However, unlike in things such as harry potter, i don’t have to sit on my broom to fly on it. I merely have to hold it (think “witches from the series His Dark Materials”).

With a broom, no problem
Without, i can’t.

I’ve only ever flew once properly, was so much fun. The other times it has been a struggle. I usually just levitate my self, it’s easier.

In my one lucid dream, I decided to fly. Easiest thing in the world. It was exactly like swimming for me, except I used the breast stroke.

I heard that that is supposed to be a slow method of flying, but it was really fast for me. Probably something to do with my swim team background. For me, swimming is fast, so that’s a fast method.

I’ve only had one LD and the first thing I did was fly!! It felt so natural, I could have sworn I was a bird in a past life.

EDIT::

I used the ‘superman’ technique, simply jumping up and deciding to go, but once I was up, I pulled my arms out like a little kid pretending to be a plane :shy:

Next to transformation, flying is one of the easiest things for me to do in a LD. And I never get tired of it. :smile:

i just had my first LD yesterday and ofcorus the first thing that comes to my find is flying but its hard tough i jumped rly high and then floated slowly down to the ground then i look up att a rly tall tree and try to reach the top and it worked i jumped even higher but then i fell tru all the branches and stuff and it kinda hurt hehe :tongue: sry for my english

I got to try it again recently. This time I flew into power lines and got a nasty shock. :bored:

Something tells me my subconscious doesn’t want me in the air.

Well, due to me not having had a good LD yet, I’ve only flown a few seconds.
I had no problems with it though. I didn’t even think about it and just took off. Worked fine.

I’ll definitively try flying if I remember to do so, all my LD’s so far have been kind of fuzzy, but I’ve had no problems doing anything so far.

Mmm that depends … But it is no problem for me :smile:

Well, i’ve tried it two times… It was a bit hard to get off and i can’t control it properly yet… But we’ll see once i try the “Neo” method.

Flying’s always been easy for me, you just have to believe!

I can usually get off the ground, but sometimes I have trouble staying in the air. Most of the time, though, I have no difficulties. I fly superman style generally.

Remember that most of the time, what you expect will happen while dreaming.
You have made yourself expect that your SC likes you grounded.
Therefore it will happen.

Who sang that silly lyric “We don’t need no thought control”?

Once I am levitating/flying I have no problem, it’s just that first hurdle of getting your feet off the ground :tongue:

Before I started LD’ing I had problem staying on the ground in the dreams. Now the problem is to come up in the air. Ironic :colgate: But flying is the nicest experience I ever had. Only in the air I am free :razz:

No flying here at all. I’ve been a LD’er for nearly the entirety of my life now, with two shared dreams, but I am strictly grounded. Even the airplanes I board don’t get off the ground. :angry:

One type I managed to turn into a dragon and skimmed above the ground by half a foot. Well, a half dragon. Or just a really pathetic one. :tongue:
