Thread: Can U Fly/ How Did You Learn?

i learned to fly in my first LD i simply had a voice talking to me saying that i could fly... then i asked how and it responded by saying through the energy in your body... shifted all my energy towards the ground and shot up... ground first started vibrating then shot up super fast... learning how to slow down was the hard part.

I flew on my first lucid dream, automatically--in fact, that is how I knew I was dreaming. I fell out of the window, and starting floating.

Whenever I try air swimming I have this preconception that my arms have to get tired...and they do... Any tips for infinite endurance while swimming?

I also have this great idea that I want to try where you imagine you are extremely light, jump, and summon a gust of wind to blow you up. More gliding than flying though.

Ugh, flying always wakes me up. I jus run and jump in the air and lift off. Or just jump up and float. The longest I've flown is like 5 seconds and some dude followed me and I looked behind me and he scared the shit out of me and I woke up lol.

I've grown a pair of black wings and just flied using them, so first time i flied i also did first time transformation!
It took a couple of lucids to get used to it but after that i flied using them very easily.

Very advanced stuff. Impressive!

About a year before I became interested in lucid dreaming, I had a lucid dream where I was bouncing through a field of endless grass. I imagined I had the Super Mario 64 wing cap on, did a triple jump, and started flying. Since then, I can usually fly with little difficulty and no medium.

flying is what gives me the feeling im dreaming the most. in my second and clearest LD i decided to fly so i shot up high above my house into a darkened sky in the "neo/matrix" style.

I have always wanted to be able to fly in real life and this craving was so strong it happened for the first time in a normal dream! I was running on an oval and I had this notion I could fly so I jumped and off I went. The feeling was very realistic and exhilarating. I soon started striving for it in my lucid dreams and it felt so natural, I just remember the first time I flew and how that felt then recreate that feeling. The only way I can describe it is like an uplifting sensation like your soul or astral body has become lighter, electrified and full of joy with the sensation of movement and forward momentum.

I have flown many times and then afterwards woken up with the free feeling and the memory of it, it's wonderful. However I have never done it lucid, only in normal dreams. My goal is to do it lucid.

I recently mastered all types of flying and can fly any which way I wish. It's beyond awesome- there are so many different ways. i should make a thread for it soon.

When I was a kid I got DILDs pretty regularly, in one dream I became lucid on top of a mountain during a snowstorm with a DC. She showed me how to glide around by stretching my arms out like a glider. It works okay but I need a pretty big run-up or a big cliff to jump off. I slowly lose altitude as I glide but a bit of furious flapping can counter that. I tried superman style flight last night but it didn't really work unless I made a "psshhhhhhhhhooooo" noise as I puttered along. I really need to find a more reliable way of flying.

I just imagine that there is a very strong gust of wind below me, then jump into it and get pushed up in the air.
It usually works really well, actually. xD

Started with levitation in my second lucid dream, then I moved on to flying. Felt so natural and it's still one of my favorite things to do in a ld ^^

I tend to move in my LD's in a "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" sort of way. Most have been indoors so far so I usually start flying by walking up walls and launching off from the ceiling. I don't think about it, it feels as natural as walking to me does in the physical world. I've flown without doing this and levitated, but the main thing that makes it work for me is treating it like natural movement, not something you're trying to do. The one time I consciously tried to fly it didn't work.

The first time I've flown was in my first ever lucid dream! I fell on the ground in my street and for some other reason i realized I was dreaming. It was dark and wanted to get the hell out of there so I lifted both of my arms 'supermanstyle' and rushed trough a house into the black dark sky. Now that I think about it, I usually become lucid when my dreams are dark and scary, it's my way of becoming lucid (not all of the time) really. I wonder if it's because that was the 'mood' of my first lucid, that I have associated it with that. Anyways, it's not that fun, I'll tell you... but I'm getting off topic here :p I always fly like that, but one time I made a broomstick and flew to the top of the tallest mountain!

Happy flying!

I've never been able to fly consistently. I can float a bit, but i end up thinking about gravity and I fall back to the ground. Obviously i haven't been flying in real life, so i can't imagine the sensation .I find flying without an aid impossible, due to me believing that the laws of physics must act in the dreamworld. Even if I try to convince myself, this is just a dream, deep inside of me, I don't trust i can fly, and therefore I end up being a prisoner of my own mind. Will try taking strides at first when i next become lucid. Sounds like a good idea.

Well I had a non lucid dream last night in which my newly found dream guide taught me how to fly, it was so cool, shes also a wizard or a witch.

Here's a more detailed version:
To Fly!!! (If only I was lucid) - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Try just knowing that people can do it in the dream world all the time so that means that you know you can do it as well. Maybe just take off like Superman. For me I flew in my dreams as a child so it became really easy when I came back to lucid dreaming. When I thought of teleporting in an LD recently, simply knowing that others do it seemed to make it easier...go forward without doubt, try taking the action before thinking too much. You can also use flying tools if you prefer.

I am still experimenting it seems. I have often felt like flying was tiring and to fight that feeling I am trying to picture riding air currents, like a hawk would.

I've been able to fly in every one of my lucid dreams except the last one (I could jump very high but for some reason I wasn't able to fly).

My trick is to pretend to be Superman and yell "Up, up, and away!"

I find it somewhat difficult to fly high. I've done it both in a dream and a lucid and I use the same technique. What I do is wave my arms up and down, kind of like I'm trying to swim upwards. Sometimes I can get pretty high; other times I can't get 5 feet off the ground.
