Couldn't fly + gravity

[sparkley]

So when I was in my second LD I tried to fly like how you would swim. So I did that and I just fell right to the ground as if there was gravity. Usually you just float. Any answers? :s I'm pretty sure I was lucid to. I did an RC and it succeeded

I do the swimming thing to fly!!! But first, I jump and wait for the floating feeling. Once I can feel that I'm floating, I start moving slowly, as if I were swimming, trying to get higher. Then, when I reach a "high enough" height, I go horizontal and start flying. The most important thing in lucid dreams is that you have to expect it to happen. If you can visualize it and anticipate the feeling on your body, that's even better!

When I was learning to fly I had so much trouble, and after a while I realized it was due to the lack of confidence I had in myself. Be optimistic and imagine yourself flying successfully. Maybe even start singing I Believe I Can Fly in the middle of your dream. Of course you can use supports as well, such as giving yourself wings or using a glider, like from Avatar.

I believe I can flyyyy I will

I believe I can flyyyy I will Confidence is awesome, so keep at that attitude! And, listen to Lucas, he's pretty spot on, another thing you might want to try is forcing yourself into a position where you will naturally want to fly, a good example of this is going to the top of a building, and jumping off, your mind will naturally want you to fly, and in turn may let it happen. Just go with the flow man. Phased.

lol reminds me of my first lucid dream I did a reality check, KNEW FOR FACT I WAS DREAMING! Ran straight out the door to outside and jumped and flew like super man lol arms out cruising 2-300mph Not a thought in my mind, no doubts no concerns just bliss and excitement. body instantly covered in INTENSE vibrational energy eeee I feel it now just remembering! GOOD TIMES I flew up like a mile in the matter of seconds. I was flying to the moon til I had the thought I did not want to be spotted by UFO's lol so I stopped flying and just sat there gazing down at the ground sitting Indian style in the air for a few minutes, so peaceful up there alone. No thoughts, no concerns, most importantly NO FEARS. Reminds me of another dream I was riding a gas powered scooter and cut through a neighbors backyard tearing up their garden in the process lol neighbor chased me and I was running away from him oor should I say riding away from him I was struggling to go up hill in the little 36cc powered scooter lol the scooter struggled up the hill because I held fear of getting caught by the neighbor, fear of him catching up and getting me. I then had the thought "What if I run out of gas? Oh no I better not think that, I am dreaming and it'll happen!" -Scooter ran out of gas- yeah then the neighbor got me! -woke up- So the whole point of what I am getting at is, on the other side. Your thoughts manifest instantaneous, you thought it therefore it is. You must not have any doubts, you must believe and KNOW you can fly, faster than super man! You must not question or even try, just do it. The pure act of trying is struggling to do it, do not try, just DO. It is more simple then what it seems, you don't have to clap your hands three times and do some jumping jacks before you can fly lol let your consciousness POWER your flight and control every single movement. best of luck ps. All in all, you can't fly because you don't believe you can. Try to forget what you believe and don't believe, I find beliefs to be the most limiting thing one can do to oneself. Empty yourself, and just be grateful for your existence The creator is truly amazing and the more you forget, the more you will see, realize and believe truth not illusion Another ps. Read a post above and they had a good idea, set a goal like I did. I saw the moon and wanted to go there, set a goal or location you want to travel too. Fly to the moon, to the desert, to the mountains, to inner earth through the north pole hole ANYWHERE! You can go Best of luck, have fun
