It works for me anyway!!

Hehe, that's a nice method indeed! There are many solutions to how to fly, i.e you can visualize a flying broom you can use, a jet-pack or something like that. If you can't fly on your own, try to use the environment and items to help you.

Has anyone tried jumping off a tall building? Does that work? I tried that running and jumping thingie, but my dream faded away as I landed, not-flying

you can do almost anything in your LDs if you have the concentration and imagination, but you have to know in your subconsious and consious mind what it would be like... you cant know what something feels like if you have never experienced it. Obviously most impossible things you have tried in your dreams have worked, but those things you have some idea how they would come about, or what they would look/feel like ect... but flying in mid air with no aid of anything else is something your mind has no knowledge about (or hardly any), so the nearest thing to actually doing it would be to think in depth about it, or go swimming (which is a similar concept to flying)! the swimming idea is a really good one because it's the nearest thing you have experienced to flying. sorry i rambled!!!!!!

Four words: Capital letters, punctuation, paragraphs.

You can feel things in dreams that you havn't felt before, I have done it. BUT, I have a theory you can't see anybody in your dreams that you havn't seen in real life.

I can fly in non-lucid dreams sometimes. That's right, sometimes my mind can actually trick me into believing that I just woke up with the ability to fly, because the rest of the dream is so realistic. The most ironic thing is that sometimes I can't do it if a dream character is watching. It's like I get nervous or something.


Also: Everybody's fallen down before, and falling and flying are exactly the same, but in a different direction. Isn't that what dreams are all about?

Believe it or not, I've never had a falling dream. I've had numerous flying dreams and after asking many people which ones they have, I found that the majority of ppl have either one or the other, though a few do have both.

I have only flown by using weird objects like balloons or paper airplanes, things I know that float in real life, and hanging onto them in order to sort of hover. When I fly without any objects it's very close to the ground and I can never make myself go up. These have never been LD's until recently and the first thing I did was try to fly but just scooted around near the floor like a damn hoverboard.

Once I had a dream I was walking on the side walk and I think I realized I was dreaming some how.
I decided: I wan't to fly. So I just extended my arms in front of me and imagine a force pushing me up from under me, so I floated way up into the air. Weeeeeee. That was fun, untill I started worrying how long it would work lol.
