Yes, in a lucid dream believing in actually doing...

I normally fly like superman but with my hands next to my body, one of the greatest feelings... Once I had wings too but the dream wasn't anything special because of low vividness...

Good job on breaking boundaries... Sometimes the easiest way is the best way, keep that in mind ^^

I often do a running jump, and once I lift off, I frog swim to get higher. Once I'm comfortable in the air I just soar around using my arms to propel me and then secure them to my sides for speed.

I had a really cool LD not too long ago where I was trying to teach my friends how to fly and lift off. It was pretty cool cause I was having them follow me in different patterns around things, one of which where I started at the base of a skyscraper and circled the whole building as fast as I could in a spiral to the top smile

Had a cool WILD/OBE I posted in my DJ yesterday morning...managed to launch off a porch railing and then used the "thought" propelled flying technique someone mentioned before here (thanks for that! wink ) Worked beautifully! Once I got up high in the air and cruising at a nice speed, I did a barrel roll like a jet and flew upside down, head first just beneath a bank of rippling clouds. Very cool effect...just like skimming along the waves of some body of water at high speed, but instead of waves, its lumps of clouds whipping by. Felt fantastic! ^^

In my first ever lucid dream which was like weeks ago, I slowly lift my arms in the air, as if i was lifting myself, and I actually levitated. I tried using my mind only to fly and it launched me like crazy. It's actually quite fun when you get used to it)


Current LD goal(s): Seek answers

Had a similar quasi-flying endeavor with a group dreaming friends as well. Actually, it was kind of like flying slash speed-climbing. Was with group of friends in the redwoods in northern CA and we were racing to the top of a grove of giants. Instead of grabbing onto the bark, I would insert my hands deep inside the wood and grab onto something within...very ephemeral feel of grabbing onto something soft and airy in the heart of the wood and using that to launch myself upward at incredible speed. Great fun! :D

I want to do about the same just in water! (I've done it when I was younger but that wasn't a lucid) Acrobatics in water can be really cool :D

My favourite method of flying is the superman. I just clinch my fist, stretch my arm and FLY!!!

When I fly, I'm not like superman. Most times I basically just float like astronauts. I push myself away from walls and stuff to move and glide down on stairs. With this I'm also capable of really big jumps which are totally fun for me. I actually prefer this over the superman type of flying. I find it more entertaining and it does not take over the dream since I do other stuff, I just move myself this way.

Tip for flying faster!!
PostPosted: Tue 15 May, 2012  Reply with quote

I have been working on techniques for achieving faster flight in my lucid dreams and I have found one that works great for me. Maybe it will work for other as well.

Rather than trying to move yourself over the landscape, focus on moving the landscape underneath yourself. It seems to work really well!

Try it out!

Nice I'll give it a try. Have you tried swimming through the air or jumping from a high place then swooping down then back up in a U shape for take off? Its pretty fun.

Yeah, I have done my fair share of air swimming hehehe wink5 I love the U shape swooping! It's so much fun. One time I did it from the top of a mountain all the way to the bottom. Amazing!

Talking about air swimming, I though I could try swimming with the "butterfly" stroke. SInce I suck at it in real life, I might be able to improve it by practicing it in a LD.

The only problem is my LDs are on and off kinda thing. I've had I few before, but I'm trying to get back into it.



Current LD goal(s): To make LDs more regular rather than an on and off thing.
