Thread: Can U Fly/ How Did You Learn?

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

I've always been able to fly, even in my non-lucid dreams.

I remember in my first long lucid, the very first thing I did was leap into the air and fly.

In my lucid last night, I flew superman style, exept I had to kick my legs to stay in the air. (Like I was swimming.)

I have no problem with the actual getting in the air part, but I usually don't have good control over my flight! Last night was the best I ever did, but I still need to work on it.

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?

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.

Ok just got back from my holidays and tried this whilst out there! I climbed a tree and jumped, as I fell I swooped up before I hit the ground then flew around for what seemed like forever! Then made the perfect landing on a balcony where some beautiful girl was waiting for me

First Time i tried to fly and it worked i just kicked my feet of the ground and started swimming in the air lol

for me it was easy i just started to run and then i jumped and i was flying but i always fly verticaly.

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

What I do is I lean foward a tiny bit with my feet together, and I can just feel my feet tickle, and then it's a slow takeoff, but after that it's asa fast as I want. Sometimes I can just jump off and fly.

learned to fly by just watching the trilogy "The Fallen"^^

When LD'ing i just imagine than i "Grow" wings on my back with an insane speed.. viola! jump off a cliff! it really gave me a andrenaline rush and got kinda scared when my wings got stuck in my jacket and i started falling D:

though i managed to save my ass from hitting the ground
becouse i managed to fall into the sea.. ending up almost being eaten alive.. by something...

Up until now, I could only fly for a few seconds, or just jump in the air really high and fall back down.

Well I finally got it. All i did was ask my "dream world" to teach me how to fly, and all of a sudden this giant eagle/owl came down and spoke in english and taught me how to fly.

It turns out I had to steer with my legs? hahaha

i had a pretty good lucid dream last night (2nd one ever)
and i tried flying.
i just said " here goes" and jumped and wanted to fly.
i fly for a few feet down my hallway. i stopped because
i didnt want to spend my whole dream flying.
i dont know.. then i tried 2 more times and i just landed softly on the
floor.

the best way is to think logical. if u think to yourself this is a dream there is no such thing as gravity then you will fly

Well, in a dream it isn't. It's not a great technique but I did it this morning, in my fourth LD. I just completely ignored gravity and started to float up. It's hard to steer and rather slow but it does the trick

You should try getting some wings
tonight (one day after my Wingy-Dream) I learned how to fly.. probably becouse the sub-consious remembers that ive been flying before.. so all i needed is to actually.. well.. it was just as easy as WALKING!
and this time.. i didnt need wings!

but one tip... dont try breaking the sound barrier.. tried.. in the middle of a damn city.. i can only say that i killed about 400 people in that dream... i destroyed about 4 skyscrapers making them completely destroy anything around em.. then i hit the ground... died... woke up

Last night, in my first ld, the first thing I tried was to fly. I just told myself I was a super hero. Then after a few tries, I could fly Superman style. I didn't like having to hold my hands out in front of me though, so I thought of other super heroes who could fly, ("Batman! No wait... He can't fly!" That honestly went through my head, strangely enough...) and then I could fly with my hands at my sides.

Well, this was the same for me too, however, in the next dream I forgot how too, It's a lot like "using the force", you really have to belive in it and that it will work, otherwise it won't. To regain this ability in a few dreams after this one I tried to run, I ran as fast as I could and found out that there was no limit to how fast I could run and then I jumped...

My conclusion for me is as follows. Learn to levitate object, then I levitate myself. I like to sit like I am on a flying carpet. There never seems to be any wid to bother me.

I dreamed of flying ever since I was a little kid.

So when I turned 18, I went to flight school for two years. Then they gave me an instructor, I spent another 2 years logging 2000 hours of flight with him.

That's how I learned to fly!

I guess it's just the way dreams are: anything imaginable is manageable

Flying is my favorite thing. It's my most common dreamsign and the best way of getting me lucid (if I'm flying, no need to RC -- I know right away that I've gotta be dreaming!)

Back when I started getting interested in dreams and lucid dreaming, I frequently dreamed about trying to fly. I would use every chance I got to glide from the tops of buildings, flap my arms while running around in open spaces and maybe get a little lift, run and jump like I was moonwalking, etc. I used to use certain body postures and really force it, sort of willing myself upward with all my willpower. Gliding from rooftops was my first method of obtaining flight, and I recommend this to beginners...once you jump you'll already be in midair (and a ways away from the ground), you just have to work on coasting rather than falling straight down. Once you've mastered this, try picking structures in the distance to fly towards; remember that it'll be harder to fly straight up than to coast towards something lower than you.

These days I zip around in the air like it's nothing, though I do occasionally smack into walls/ceilings, lol It's wonderful feeling the wind in your hair and seeing the scenery blurring past beneath you, or gaining so much altitude that the cities and forests look like miniature models far below you.

Originally my incentive for flying was to escape from nightmare situations, and I still do this to this day...matter of fact I was lucid last night and ran into a darkened room that made me feel suddenly fearful, and to avoid anything nightmarish I launched myself out the window and flew away. Mighty useful trick. Aside from avoiding unpleasant situations it's also my preferred method of changing scenery when lucid.

After all these years I'm still kind of amazed that dream flight is a skill that can be polished with time, like a skill in the real world. No doubt it's one's confidence that builds with the practice, and confidence in one's abilities controls reality in dreams even more so than in real life.

I have always had flying dreams as long as I can remember, and they were always my favorite dreams. For a long time, whenever I would get lucid, I would just be like "Whoo-hoo! I'm dreaming and that means I can fly!", take off, and spend the whole dream flying. I've become lucid mid-flight a few times which is a pretty interesting feeling.

I usually use the superman-style for really high flying, and the levitation-style for shorter distances closer to the ground. Lately, I've been learning to fly at the speed of light.
