Thread: Can U Fly/ How Did You Learn?

In my first and only LD so far I have flown. I didn't think of a particular technique, I just took off. Somehow I knew I would be able to.

Navigating was a bit difficult though and I didn't fly higher than tree-height, but I didn't try to do that, anyway.

I can fly by simply jumping up and swimming through the air, but I prefer a different method. I like jumping off of something that's really high. My arms act like wings and I just glide.

i didnt learn how to fly. it just happened. I can just lift up off the ground and go. dont need wings or anything, just like levitating, but I can zoom around and go places. Flying is one of my dream symbols to pointing out that it IS a dream. (I tend to fly alot)

Ah, so you're the one who's been peekin through my window at night

Not sure it was something I "learned". It was something that just happened a lot in non-lucids. Then, when I finally became lucid, I simply jumped up and expected to be float in the air - and I did. From then on it was just a matter of 'pushing' myself through the air.

Still, even as an experienced flier, there are dreams in which I can't completely control my flight.

I'm still trying to learn. I have trouble with control still. I managed to hover in the air but it wasnt really exhilarating at all, just a little awkward. Then another time I tried to sprout wings on my arms but they wouldnt appear. But I still managed to fly higher in the air. This happened a few times, just kinda hovering (swimming through the air).
Then the other day while practicing my flyin skills I decided to climb up this rocky watery area, it was either a running brooke facing downhill or a waterfall. However I went up on it, and then I dove forward, did a front flip which caused my arms to swing back and then I'd whip my arms forward and it caused me to shoot forward and that was the most fun feeling fly i did so far in my lucid dreams. Still practicing.

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

When I was just beginning to lucid dream, I remember one time I fell off of a rooftop, and to keep from hitting the ground, I just made the ground go lower and lower and kept falling

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...

I have lucid dreams and I KNOW it is my dream and I can do anything but yet I still have problems with control. I even know its a mental thing in my dream but I just still need help developing the skill. I guess for others it comes easily the control part.

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.

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.

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 . . .

YEA i fly to mcdonald's and back most of the time in my LD but my method is to get in a car go really fast and slam on the breaks then i fly threw my windshield and take off flying

actually, it didnt take me long. i love to fly, its fun =]

I can usually fly in my ld's without even thinking about it, but it sometimes gets a bit hard, so I just shout out an order, like "I WANT TO FLY UP TO THAT TALL SKYSCRAPER" and I'll be zooming up there in no time.

Whenever I get stuck with something I tend to shout an order out loud, I find it solves all of my problems. Except sticking my feet to something spider-man style, I seem to have a mental block on that

What I try to do is jump, and then in mid-air, lift my feet from under me so I will be horizontal to the ground so if I didn't float/fly, I would drop to the ground. Luckily, that never happens because I always do float or fly
