Hi everyone.
I remember that I when I was younger had several dreams where I was able to fly. They were not lucid because I remember that I seriously beleived that I would be able to fly in real life after having woken up. I don't remember my exact age at the time of the dreams, but I assume it was at a point where logic hadn't totally destroyed my wish of being able to fly.
I even recall how I managed to fly in the dreams. And this is what my question is really about. But i'll just breifly explain how I flew.
The first dream:
I remember I was outside in my old schoolyard. I was playing by a large tree that was in the center of the yard and then all of the sudden I levitated a bit. It wasn't much but that was the first dream where it happened.
In subsequent dreams I remember that I discovered a connection between the altitude that I could levitate in, and how relaxed I was in the dream. So in order to get up real high I had to relax a lot. I later gained vertical control as well, but it was nothing like superman'ish zooming about. Just levitation with control, kind of similar to a hot air balloon.
The question:
Now that I am older and I recently discovered lucid dreaming I was wondering if you think I might be able to use "my old flying technique" in order to acheive what appears to be difficult to many? (I have yet to have my first LD)
Bonus question:
I have noticed that when I am about to fall asleep I tend to have sort of a brief "spasm" or whatever you might call it. It almost feels like an electrical shock, just without the electricity and pain... I have noticed that my girlfriend seems do do the same thing. I would like to know if this is normal, and in general get some more information about it.
Regards
Martin
