Trouble With Flying and Controll

**JoshGoldie** · 12-08-2012 07:43 PM

hey guys, finally i had 2 lucid dreams last night after over a month of a dry spell, but i have a few problems that i hope some of you can help me with.

firstly as soon as i because lucid i tried to fly, what i tend to do is jump into the air and then do a kind of swimming motion like a breast stroke ( i know right

) but it seemed to be really ineffective as i did not get any height of speed, and as soon as i stopped "swimming" i start to fall. The reason why i wanted to fly was so that i could change the dream scene by flying over a hill and convincing myself "over this next hill i will see what ever i want" well i managed to fly over the hill but i did not see what i wanted

and also throughout both of my lucids i was being pursued by pestering DC's who would not let me go and find the characters that i wanted to meet and the places that i wanted to go, and when i tried to use my powers on them, it was extremely weak. I even tried a Kamehameha on a DC but its was extremely week and ineffective. However i still really enjoyed being lucid again and i am greatfull for it

Id really appreciate some advice on some of these points guys, thanks.

I also tend to start to fly as soon as I become lucid. The key is to get a running start before jumping up and flying and trying to take it slow and fly gradually. Also it can be hard to do big things such as make things appear over hills etc. The best thing to do is to dedicate a dream to slowly train yourself and learn which abilities you are good at and which abilities you aren't so good at. I did this once and just messed around with everything I could, it's really fun and helps you get better at dream control.

hey thanks, i never thought of getting a running start ive always just kind of spontaneously took off, ill give that a shot. And yeah i need to try to stay in the dream world and feel it out before i try big crazy dream control techniques i think

Well, you may kind of be bound by physics causing you to not have your expected experience. Look carefully at your hands when you become lucid, that's the key here. Do a reality check so you can feel the effect of being lucid. Start off by walking, then jogging and eventually, running. When you've mastered these simple moves, you're ready to start jumping. I imagine a little rop like 20cm above the ground that I have to jump over and make it go higher and higher. When you feel ready, tell yourself that gravity won't effect you the next time you jump and lift off. If this still doesn't work, you can summon a jetpack or attach wings to your shoulder blades - I think these techniques are called passive control, they make it easier for you to do something. Of course, there are always those people we're jealous of that can just fall off a cliff and start flying, but some people need the extra practice and confidence.

While trying to do a kamehameha, I follow energy projection techniques that Gohan showed Videl. Summon energy from your stomach, and gently spread it out to your hands in more than one breath. You may feel an awkward sensation at this point in your hands, and that's when you should cup your hands together and, you know the drill, ka-me-ha-me-ha. When shooting the ball of energy, you need to really believe that this is going to be painful. After all, lucid dream control is controlled by your mind's expectations of what's going to happen. Good luck!
