I find it hard getting in the air, so climb trees or buildings and just jump off |

A few years ago, when flying became the trigger that allowed me to DILD, I was able to keep on flying, high and fast, but without much control over the dream content(s). |

You're not losing any abilities because you don't have them to begin with. What you have are decisions. It's not about how "well" you can fly. It's about can you get past the mental block of THINKING than flying is a power and thinking that you can ever lose this "ability". You always can fly in your dreams. Even if a wizard dc tells you that gravity has increased 10 fold and now flying is physically impossible, you can still fly. It's all about what you subconsciously expect to happen. Nothing can stop you from doing anything, because it's all in your head. |

Urk--! That doesn't sound like a good idea to me! If you fail, chances are you wake up prematurely. That'd suck if you were WILDing. |

I used the Douglas Adams (Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, for the ignorant) approach. In one of his books (Don't remember which one), he said "Flying is easy. Just throw yourself at the ground - and miss." The time I tryed it, I was on like, 3 stairs, and that little boost was all I needed. I jumped off, spread my arms, and floated. Although I had to dive slightly to get speed, like I had the wingcap in Super Mario 64. Most likely because my mind adopted the first available point of reference. |

"Of course it is all happening inside your head...but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"
~Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
It's just a mental block, you can do it man...if all else fails, try throwing yourself at the ground and missing ^_^ |

Things are not as they seem
I think Rainman is right on the money, the only reason you can't is because you think you're losing the ability. You think you're losing it so you don't expect it to happen so it doesn't. The only reason people need tricks is because they think they need them. |

Thank you all for your replies. The ability to fly high and fast was restored a few weeks ago — high and fast meaning to be able to race with a Boeing jet by my own self, which I had not done in a while. |

Last week when I became lucid, I just went up a hump, and I just walked straight off it instead of stepping down while looking straight ahead (ergo, don't stare at your feet). I ended up floating and hovering around the scenery, and then took off. This was a planned endeavor to trick myself. Not to ignore the ground below me, but to ignore that there was no descending as I walked off the hump. |
|
When I try to fly I have to focus to stay close to the ground. If I don't do that I soar upwards into the sky. Sort of like I'm falling upwards. And then I wake up, exactly as I would if if were falling down. |

I have lots of flying dreams, I'll follow common sense and imagine myself flying during the daytime, (along with RCs of course ) and I expect if i persist long enough, that may result in a lucid dream |
|
I tryed jumping out my bedroom window two nights ago in a long lucid because i thought it would be cooler than just jumping into the air. I started to think what if it fails and i crash into the floor and wake up. |

Just use the bee suit from Super Mario Galaxy. |
|
And… moreover, in a recent LD I found out that not only was I able to fly high and fast again, but I was also able to stand up and walk or run in mid air, as if there were an invisible sidewalk under my feet. |
|
What I have done with success is to create a hole in something, a wall, a tree, and fly through that. this usually gets me started. |
|
I had 3 lucid dreams last night and i couldn't fly in either of them. I could sort of fly in one of them but not properly, this is annoying me now. |
