      Altered Gravity

      For some reason, in all of my dreams, no matter what, there is always low gravity. For example. if i go outside and try to fly, and jump in the air. I jump about 20 feet in the air, slowly float to the ground, and repeat. I was wondering if anyone else encounters this?

      Note: I figured out my technique of flying wasn't effective, and replaced it with a little bit of mind power.

      You can actually control it freely if you learn it and take your time to do so.

      I was practising my wall and ceiling walking a little this morning. And I always kind these days fall down slower than gravity would ensue. A safe mechanism.

      Ah. I could see how it would be a safe mechanism to lighten up gravity from falling, but it seemed that the gravity was altered when i jolted into the air. I also do backflips and hand stands, things i normally couldn't do.

      Thats weird that that happens but i think its really that it happened once and your mind is making it happen again. just try to think through it
      Settle in your seat and dim the lights

      Yes, maybe i'm under-thinking it. just jumping in the air without thinking about my intentions would be the reason of my failure. Thanks for the input guys.

      Interesting experience! I always have thought that dreams behave as you expect them to behave (not necessarily consciously, maybe subconsciously as well). If this is the case it could be that you had seen a movie or played a game with low gravity before having a dream, and then, while dreaming that night you expected there to be low gravity. At this point, each new dream could be enforcing that expectation, and it might take some significant dream control to change that.

      I'm not sure if that is actually how it works, but I've often thought about how things like this manifest themselves in dreams, and I figured that logically it would make sense that your subconscious is expecting a certain thing to happen so it makes that happen. Otherwise, what else would control gravity in your dreams?

      I have the same situation with the jumping.

      I also jump like 20 ft in the air and float down. even if your not flying its still amazing and beatiful.

      IMO, Gravity is easy to alter.
