Thread: First Lucid! But cannot fly

It was an amazing experience though, and I look forward to the next one.

Next time try jumping off 20th floor...3rd floor always works for me...but I think for you 20th.... Reason is that you will have time to....fly...unless you are thinking of hitting the ground, it's a reflex for self preservation to fly/float that should work even in dreams.

When I fly in dreams I just sort of levitate and guide myself with my arms. I could do it the first time I tried, and I think I was so sucessful because I didn't even consider the fact that it wouldn't work. Most of the time it is doubt that holds you back. Like Neo trying to junmp across the buildings in the Matrix, you have to believe you can

I personally just take straight off, kinda like Iron Man would...although I just have the ability to fly. No need for a suit.

cool

last night i had a semi-lucid dream where i took a spaceship to mars but the ship started burning up in the atmosphere so i had to jump out. So i fell through the sky and eventually learned to glide before i hit the ground. Too bad I dont remember the whole thing though.

I quite agree with that...I almost "SPLAT" on the floor in one of my lucids because I was unsure if it was a dream or not. I only had a few seconds to be sure because I jumped off the window and fell free fall before I was sure and I levitated a few inches from the ground...When I was sure....
