Thread: Can U Fly/ How Did You Learn?

I've only hovered over the floor of my room once I was doing WBTB+WILD when I suddenly got thrown out of my bed. I had succeeded with WILD ofcourse and was now lucid, but the dream started from my bed, in my bedroom which looked just as usual. Anyway, I got thrown out of my bed about 3 metres and stopped like 2 feet from the floor. From here I got up and hovered around my room for about 1 sec before gravity caught me and I landed on the cold floor. I suggest beginning with easy hovering and when you feel comfortable with that, you can try to get some height.

The easy est way to fly i learnt this first go the dream was fadeing and i remembers what my friend said i wish the wind would carry me away so i imagnied that wind would pick me up from behind slash under and i flew easy

I never tried to fly.




I just flew. It's not a matter of can you do it, it's simply a matter of doing it. It's your dream, there is nothing you CAN'T do. Once you realize that, what's the problem?

Heres a strange one from 20 years ago. I was involved in a lucid when I kind of lost control, monster men with guns and bad stuff. I jumped trying to go out the ceiling. Pulling my way threw the ceiling (was not good at walk through walls skill yet), on the roof I jumped straight up wanting to find a calmer place. I just keep looking up, and I just went up and up. The scenery disappeared, I kept going, all became plane white, no scene. I was shocked by the complete lack of any scenery (I saw my hands and body but all else was white.) At this shock I began a hard free fall. I worried that I would land in the same place, so I used the time to make a good si-fi gun. Crashed throw the roof and hit the floor. I was back in the gun fight, now well armed.

I have issues controling my dreams...but I've noticed that whenever I'm in a panic I just do it and it happens...like in my last lucid dream I had a fight with a nightstalker(It seemed like one I think) and without thinking I just started to fly...I also made fire to fight him off with...

Had My second lucid dream last night and took to the skies like a newborn to a teat! Unfortunately my landing needs some work. Anyone remember America's Greatest Superhero? That's how badly I landed. Screaming all the way.:p

I flew in my first lucid dream. It was really strange, because even though I knew it shouldn't happen, I forced myself to believe I could do it. All I did was get a running start and dove into the air, as if I was taking a big jump across something. It's such an incredible feeling, because deep inside, you know it shouldn't be working like that, but yet there you are, flying in midair, defying all laws of physics. After flying for a while, common sense got the better of me, and I fell to the ground. Some girl laughed at me.

In another (non-lucid) dream, I was flying around, and I crashed into a tree. It was embarrassing

I usually don't remember to fly. But I do have decent control. the #1 tip in a lucid to have control is to believe. Believe it or not, it is to believe

I fly a lot in real life, so when I want to fly in my dreams, I tap into the sensation of being lifted that I get every time that I actually take-off. I suggest that anyone who wants to get a real feel for it and not have their brain "invent" the sensation actually go for a flight in a small aircraft. That way you have a base sensation to fall back on (it's also a lot of fun!).

Also, the funniest thing about flying in dreams is having unsuspecting dream characters freaking out .

Me...uhhh, never could really succeed in it. You know, it's actually pretty tough to fly. All I can do is levatate a few feet above the ground, and jump pretty high.

I used to fly when I was young in semi-lucid dreams. I also used to be able to hover, so when I had a real lucid dream later on it was pretty easy to just take off.

I used to run and jump forward and dip towards the ground then lift up and fly. Now I just can levitate and move myself while standing, and go through walls. It is so much fun going through walls. And I love making dream characters freak out too, like flying in front of them or going through walls to surprise them. One time I dipped through the floor up to my head and a dream character was like " "what the --?!?!" it was pretty funny

free falling is fun too. I used to wake up pretty quickly because the sensation of falling would build and build. But recently I've been able to fall faster and longer.

when I first began LD-ing, I found myself simply floating without control. I would just begin to rise if I got too excited or worked up. Since then though, I have developed the skill of making myself a pair of wings. I kneel down, envision the wings sprouting from my shoulder blades, and then will it to be. It is my favorite way of flying. Before I could do that though, I once reached lucidity while dreaming I was driving my car. When i realized i was lucid, my car began lifting off the ground. once my car was about 10 feet up I figured i would just get rid of my car and i would be flying alone instead. I tried it, closed my eyes, and it worked. the car was gone and i was flying(in the superman fly position) Though I could not keep it up, so i made my car reapper. After my car was flying(about 40 ft up) I messed up and my Mazda Millenium started flippping out of control. my doors opened and my sunroof flew open. I then fell out out of the sunroof and was plummeting towards the ground. I first "learned" to fly then, when, in terror, I took control and manipulated the air around me. I guess that goes along with what Caradon was saying.

I just lift up and do it. At first I did have some problems, like landing...god that SUCKED not being able to do it. Anyway, I wont list my problems because then others might find themselves with the same problem. Eventually I learned to land by just letting gravity take effect again on me. I used to accidently create huge craters in the ground when I landed, but now I land perfectly fine.

On another note, whoever it was somewhere in these forums that mentioned 'feeling the wind', I want to thank. Flying is so much more enjoyable when I actually feel the wind around me, if you haven't actually felt the wind I suggest you do it, it is alot more exciting than it sounds.

I like the levitating idea, I think I might have used a variation in my childhood LD's...

*remembers levitating a bully in a dream and throwing him into a tree*



And I've had two very low lucid dreams recently, but I managed TK so I really think the levitating/flying thing might work for me!

When I first flew in dreams, it was more of a levitation, up and down but shaky when moving sideways. It usually started by running (which was unsuccessful, and just felt like I was knee-deep in mud), and then a dive into the air.

Now I've got more control and I can fly anywhere by simply diving forward. It's still a little slow. But I have solved that issue:

If you want to fly fast, use an object! This may be due to the fact that I had just finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in a day and a half. I grabbed a broom from my porch, hopped on, and it gave me a whole new level of control and speed!

I was unsure if I could at first, so I crawled out of the window I was in, and pulled a super mario... runnnnnnnnnnnn JUMP! WOOHOO!!!!

About 2 weeks ago I had my first (decent) lucid in quite some time (years I think? lol). I tried to fly just to see if I could and wasn't hard at all. Though not very exciting, I don't understand why (almost) everyone on here is so hung up on the flying thing. Perhaps I don't like it so much because in my dreams it's incredibly easy to do, i'm usually looking for more of a challenge.

One of my friends was explaining one of his flying dreams and said the only reason why he thinks it's so fun/exciting is because to him (and a lot of people) it represents complete freedom. It can also reinforce the feeling of control and freedom in the lucid world.

Shapeshifting has and always will be my favorite thing to do in a dream, for me it's as exciting as flying is for most of you. It's always been a part of a good number of my dreams. Sometimes the best reality check is looking in the mirror and realizing you are far from being who you think you are.

when i was like 7 and used to have lucid dreams (at that time all my dreams were lucid... not anymore ) i would curl up into a ball and fly. pretty weird but reliable.

I flew in my very first lucid dream.
It was really easy for me, because I was totally stoked.
I was just thinking, wow I can do anything I want. I'm lucid!

So I bent down and leapt into the air.
I flew really fast, and the sensation was simply amazing!
I could feel the air whipping past me and I rose way up into the clouds.

Now, if only I could fine tune my lucid dreaming skills so I could have more lucid dreams to fly in, then I would be set!

I really use the levitate yourself kind of trick. Here is a odd adapttation I have made. I can float up easy but floating forward is not fast enough sometimes, maybe about as fast as a bicycle, and I some time wish to travel across a vally or over to a far away building. I do a kind of spiderman thing, not a web but I point and picture reaching out as if I had shot a web and kind of real it in thus pulling my floating self very fast to the place I was going.

At first I would try to lauch myself in the air after becoming lucid and I would kind of jump really high and come back down. Then I realized I was putting too much thought into becoming airborn and not enough into shifting the dreamscape underneath me. Hopefully that makes sense to you

WHY hasn't anyone thought of a broomstick?? It always works pefectly, or have a sort of hoverboard under your feet. It's always easier if you tell yourself "Oh, the broomstick lets me fly" or "my wings make me fly" or something like that. One time, I had wings sprouting out of my shoulderblades, and my arms weren't my wings!! It was awesome . . .

I used a rocket to fly once, like one of those model rockets lol.
but yeah i just act like superman and fly, works pretty well for me

I jump around like a maniac until I lift into the air. It also works to jump off incredibly high buildings.
