Thread: Can U Fly/ How Did You Learn?

I haven't actually been able to fly yet, but it's a work in progress The last few times I've simply tried to jump up, but it turns into an extremely high leap and I slowly float down.

I also tried jumping off of a building once, but I ended up bouncing off the ground like a ball xD

I have two amazingly memorable dreams about flying.

1. I fly from earth into space, and everything is so real. I fly past Jupiter, Saturn, a dark blue one(venus?), then I fly back towards earth. The sun looms large and I am drawn toward it. I fly past another planet towards the sun. The heat grows but I am not bothered by the pain. The pain fades out as I get closer and then actually enter the sun. Once I enter the sun, my entire perception is white light. I woke up sweating like i broke a fever and totally euphoric.

2. Flying through the air and I want to see how fast I can go...I go high into the atmosphere and gain speed. As I go faster, the wind noise increases to a roar. I go faster. Suddenly, I hear an incredibly loud explosion and the roar is muffled. I fly as if in an invisible force field.

Even thought I suck at it now, flying is probably my favorite dreaming activity.

Learning was pretty awkward and hilarious at first. Actually, I used to jump really long distances before I learned to fly. I believe stephen laberge had the same experience. Interestingly enough, I was never very good at levitation. Recently, I tried to levitate and was unable to sustain that very long. Good fun though

That first one is totally amazing!

I always used to fly in my non-lucid dreams when I was a kid so I guess it comes naturally. My first lucid was a WILD, and when I "popped" out of my physical body, I was floating in the corner of my room, I then floated across my room (very awkwardly, like peter pan type flight, felt like I was being held up by wires). I've gotten a lot better though, now flying feels natural, it's probably one of my favorite aspects of lucid dreaming.

My flying experience started with floating about my room in I think my second ld, and then shortly after I was in complete control. ^.^

I have always flown in one form or another in my dreams.
Generally I fly by just jumping up. I would levitate above the ground a bit, then come back down. Sometimes gravity shifts and I fall into the sky, causing panic and worry. Other times I control my "falling" and start soaring. These behaviors have been with me in my non-lucids for as long as I remember.
In lucid dreams, I have flown in one, and in another I tried and failed. I was kinda depressed when my flying ability failed me that one time, I had absolutely no control in that lucid.

I've slowly gotten better at flying. I can now fly at will with some ease. In my third lucid, a dc showed me how to fly, and it worked every attempt after in subsequent dreams.

I never figured it out

I started flying in my second lucid dream. I started out flying line superman, and to start it I leaped into the air. Simple for me. Now I have also flown like ironman, which was weird, to have my hands play a part. I flew by swimming through the air in one.
I've always loved flying

Hi guys... Fun to read everyone flying stories! I used to fly in my non lucid dreams so it has come to me somewhat easy. I remember one where I was on a flying carpet... I want to try that in a lucid dream for sure.
As far as my lucid dreams I have flown in two out out four... I like to swim through the air and I did flips which was pretty fun.. But I definitely need more practice. :-D

Uhm.. On my sixth lucid dream.. i wanted to fly. So i saw a window and wanted to jump. But i was afraid of falling, so i just thought that there are balloons behind me, hanging my body.
so i just jumped and started to fly.

Flying for me has come naturally, I have yet to experience problems with it. I flew in my second lucid dream, the experience of wind blowing on my face while flying is simply Amazing! I've also tried levitation. I felt like someone was holding the toes of my foot, with great pressure I might add. Flying is an unforgettable experience, my next task for flying is to sprout wings like an angel and use them to fly.

Last night I had my first successful flying lucid dream. I don't remember why I decided to fly, but immediately after I became lucid I jumped high into the air, stopped in midair and looked down at the freeway (I became lucid while in a car driving down a freeway) and saw everybody out of their cars looking up at me and yelling out how they can't believe it. Then, I flew away to test out my new ability. When I tried to stop again (by going from horizantal to vertical), it took a few seconds for any change in my speed or direction at all to be affected by my will to stop, which depleted most of the realness that I wanted to experience.

YAY!! Congrats on the flying.

I have had lucid dreams before (at the time I did not know what a lucid dream was) where I have flown...It came pretty naturally to me. What I did was start running to increase speed, then jump of the ground and relax, letting myself rise. This is always how I fly in my dreams. The first time I tried to in a dream, I fell but I just got up and tried again, successfully. Flying is one of the reasons why I want to have lucid dreams

Yes, i can fly in my lucid dreams, i learn it naturally little by little.
The first time, when i tried to fly, it was hard because a part of my mind was thinking about something which retain my bodyand then my body became heavy so i couldn't fly. The hardest thing was to control my mind.
Now when i want to fly, i just watch the sky and letting my body getting caught by it so i can fly naturally.
We can also imagine that we want to reach a point in the sky like if we want to catch the moon. ^^

Last night I dreamed that I was going to do a flip into a swimming pool and someone told me I needed to take a good run up. So I raced along as if I was going to do a vault, bounced up and kept going way over the pool, landing miles away in another pool. I didn't become fully lucid, but now I wonder if this springboard idea could be used to get over the fear on a first attempt flying. I just have to remember to try it when lucid. I have flown a few times in dreams, but don't recall starting it or attempting it so I probably wasn't lucid.

That actually sounds like a really good idea!

After all this time I sometimes still have trouble with my flying. Last night I was in a lucid and Ii was flying, when I decided to try and change a billowy cloud into a giant spider. As I focused on changing the cloud, I started to sink out of the sky. I tried to at least stay airbourne, but for some reason trying the two things at one time was to much. It should not matter what I am doing while i am flying, but I could not get it to work.

Practice makes perfect........flying whilst lucid is the best feeling in the world ever!!! love it

I just had my first lucid dream last night and i flew by just jumping out of a window into this valley. I believed i could fly and did.

As soon as I realized at 4 years old that I no longer had to simply experience my dreams, I learned that I had the choice to become an active participant in them. I could create and be the sole governing force in my dreams. I've always known how to 'fly' in my lucid dreams as I began to recognize that the laws of physics are more easily broken/played with in the dream world then in the concrete world.

Because I always figured internal rules were meant to be broken, in order for absolute dominion and exploration of the self to happen, one day, I just willed myself to create a world that topographically represented the one I knew (possibly created through the emulations of memories), and I allowed myself upwards (I have to admit that transvection/'flight' alone was a concept I had some trouble with because there was no means for propulsion for allowing oneself upward so I relied heavily on telekinesis/psychokinesis in dreams to help with that) and began to witness the ground get smaller and smaller....I realized that this was MY inner world, and the only the rules that applied were the ones I ALLOWED to influence me. From then on, I began to lucid dream by actively realizing that I created my dream experience.

I learned that by allowing the rules and restrictions of the conscious/external mind to invade the subconscious/internal mind, with activities like maintaining the same laws of physics and limitations we experience in external reality, I was retarding my ability to dream in full, and was instead trying to accurately mimic external reality which is pointless, and counter-intuitive in the dream world. I used TK/PK to move myself from one point to the other, and I began to fly. I could 'feel' the cool air currents over my body, and I even let my hand touch the water of the ocean I was flying over. I dove in the water, and saw whales, fish, and came back up, and as I emerged, I had a sphere of energy about 7 ft out from me surrounded me. I willed the sphere to become a pair of wings of light (LK: Lumokinesis) that came from my back, and I flew upward towards space to see what was out there.

My point is, if you desire it, it will manifest in the dream.

I've been flying in dreams since I was a child. Not sure how I learned. Sometimes it's better than others though.

I have flown before but it was difficult to control. I haven't tried levitating objects yet since i'm still trying to refine my LDing but I have conjured up a tank before; which was pretty fun to smash through stuff.

Flying is all about releasing your fears - which first means you have to identify the fear, accept why you're afraid of it, and then you can release it. I'm not talking about the fear of flying either. It could be the fear of being alone, or of success, fear can even be brought on subconsciously by sensory triggers. Smells, sounds, a scene from a movie that reminds you on some deep level of something else. Whatever it is that you are afraid of, its personal. And releasing your fears doesn't mean you will never be afraid again. It just means that you have made the choice to not allow that to control you, you do not allow that to create boundaries around you. And then you begin to trust the unseen and explore, and create. Flying has been something I've done since I was old enough to remember my dreams. I don't always fly, but if there is a reason for me to do it, I go. The last one I remember clearly, was a few years ago. My youngest child was less than 2 years old at the time of the dream, and I remember her taking off from the ground, going about ten feet up, and becoming scared, so I simply went up and held her. She wanted to come down so I brought her down. She couldn't get down We live apart now. This child now visits me in dreams.

Someone in this thread mentioned levitation. I was about 9 years old when I had a dream of being taught how to levitate, manipulate an object. I was standing in the front yard of the house I lived in at the time and was given a cube with rainbow colors on the sides. My first reaction was to change the colors. The being next to me showed me I could levitate it, even turn it inside out if I wanted to. It was all about breaking boundaries, seeing that the limits we place for ourselves are for our own protection and comfort, and that when we're ready to become more, we can.
