here's help on flying.

[Creation X]

well I thought I'd post this to show you guys how to control flying in Lucid Dreams. Here are some problems people(including myself) usually have. I keep trying to fly but I can't! I just jump and fall! I can't turn very well. I can only fly to a certain hight I have problems landing.. I'll go over them one by one. 1.I keep trying to fly but I can't! I just jump and fall! well, This use to happen to me, and sometimes still does! first do a RC to make sure you are actually dreaming. After you see that you are, try getting a running start off a hill or something, and act like the wind is swooping you up, giving you a boost, and then you take control. 2.I can't turn very well. This was also one of my problems, and the only way I could fix it was by changing my flight pattern. Instead of sharply turning try easing into it, or turning like when your at a green light in your car. 3.I can only fly to a certain height This is a terrible thing I had to deal with. It sucks major butt. The way I cured it was I simply told myself that I can go farther. If you are "pushing" yourself up in the sky, try to push harder. 4I have problems landing.. yea, this is a pain in the butt.when flying kind of flip so your feet are facing the ground and kind of slide on your feet until a dead stop. of course I don't mean go skiing, you should have slowed down a bit when you where in the sky, but if you are going fast in the sky and come to a dead stop that would be cool too.here's a pic.

Thanks for this CX. I especially like the landing pic. (And for the record, I love your avatar!!! ^__^)

The only area I have a problem in, is turning. I can take off, go as high as I want, and land fine, but the only way I can turn, is to stop myself completely, turn, and then continue flying (I can levitate in mid-air, so stopping to turn isn't a problem). One thing I should add is, when trying to take off, Jump in the air, and look straight up. I found out that, if you can't see yourself hit the ground, you normally don't feel it either, so you usually just continue upwards. Thats how its always worked with me.

Nice tips. Running and jumping off hills is a great way to get started. I Just had one like that. But I think the best flying technique ever, is to learn to use telekinesis on yourself. It gives you perfect control.

Hey thanks for this I've only had one LD but the first thing I wanted to do in it was fly! (who doesn't? Haha). I got there eventually, but the only problem I had was jumping and not taking off. Another way you can get yourself to fly (once you've established that you're dreaming first.. lol) is by going to the top of something kind of high and then telling yourself you're NOT going to fall. Then jump off. That worked for me.. as I was falling I said.. you're not going to hit the ground and I imagined myself stopping in mid-air and I did.. I was floating. Then I took it from there

hmm when ever i jump i fall to, but there is an easy way to fly, first you need a plane, then you need to turn on the plane, next u push throtle and mixture all the way up, and when you get to about 60kts, roughly 65mph (in a pa-38) pitch about 10 to 15 degrees up, and your flying!

Great set of tips, man. Even I have trouble from time to time. Once I get airborne, I have no problems, but getting up there is a challange.

I prefer turning into a dragon. Humans can't fly. That's nonsense. So I don't fly very well as a person. Dragons can fly though. Somehow I ignore the fact humans can't turn into animals and most of the animals I prefer to be don't exist but I can't get over things like humans can't fly. I tried imagining wings on myself but it didn't really work as well and I like turning into animals. The first dreams I started to really remember had no humans only animals. Humans are too complicated emotionally and I have social anxiety so it's not uncommon for me to go days without talking to another human being while interacting constantly with my pets. Makes it easy to see myself as an animal so I usually just come up with an animal that has the abilities I want to have.

Yay flying lol. 3 ways I do it, depends on which world Im visiting as for which ways are possible but lets see... 1. Typical Jumping flying, pretty much its just jumping in air lol kinda fun but you dont wanna go too high cos broken legs arent fun! 2. Floating flying, just that lol, floating. Not much control but still its better than nothing. 3. Actually flying. I cant work out how else to describe it lol, perhaps telekenisis on onesself. By far the best control and speed and I havent tried but Id say no height limits

I'm gonna give this a shot, thanks.

There's a huge tutorial about flying, you know. I use the zoom method. Let's me fly at supersonic speeds.

4I have problems landing..[/b] yea, this is a pain in the butt.when flying kind of flip so your feet are facing the ground and kind of slide on your feet until a dead stop. of course I don't mean go skiing, you should have slowed down a bit when you where in the sky, but if you are going fast in the sky and come to a dead stop that would be cool too.here's a pic. I can imagine the crash landings people might of faced in the past. .. I would seriously laugh if someone is flying and somehow trips on a pebble or something cause they thought of it XD

[maverikdemon]

the LD i had, i tried flying by runniing and jumping. at first i didnt do too well, then all of a sudden i jumped 50 stories, clung on to a building, and jumped off.

[DeliriousDonkey]

Another flying technique: try running up a tall building and use it as a rocket-launcher. I usually run up buildings and backflip off them(I love flipping)
