Well, it happened once, but I just FORCED myself to believe it was a dream and did it anyway. |

This morning I had 2 more short LDs...in the first one I got too excited and it ended. In the second one I got lucid and stayed calm. I was inside an apartment and I wanted to go outside to fly. I went out on this balcony and thought about jumping off and flying but everything felt so real that I couldn't shake the feeling of "what if I'm not really dreaming and I jump off that balcony and break my legs and fully embarass myself??" |

Do you know the terror of he who falls asleep? To the very toes he is terrified, Because the ground gives the way under him, And the dream begins... - Friedrich Nietzsche
My first lucid flight was just like that. I went to balcony for a take off, looked outside and felt urge to do extra check to ensure I am in a dream. But then I did not need to jump of as I simply started fly up by myself. |

Perform one more check before taking the jump, then just do it. Nerves are hard to get over the first couple of times. You also could start from something lower. I prefer jumping and gliding off of a gentle hill, rather than a straight drop. |

I dislike jumping off things in dreams. In non-lucids, it always wakes me up with a cold sweat, altered vision, and severe nausea. If I must fly from a cliff, I'll fly up, not fall-and-fly. It makes me feel safer. |

The key is to stop for a second and observe your environment as much as possible and find the littlest aspect or dream sign that tells you "this is indeed a mere dream". |
