Thread: running on all fours ~ a solution to sluggishness

I don't know how or when this started to develop, but it's a handy little ability.

I've noticed that being chased in dreams often triggers lucidity for me too.

Before I was able to fly in dreams I used to have a method of moving very quickly. I would dive forwards, tuck into a summer sault and roll back up to my feet, at which point I would dive forward again. This works really well if you're in shackles in dreams and there are police chasing you. I've noticed that there is a limit to how fast I can fly though, and often times I feel sluggish when trying to fly long distances in my dreams.

Wish I woupd actually remember to do this, my nightmares are always someone trying to kill me, but I move too slowly to fight back. Maybe I'll remember to use this to run away

I find myself doing this from time to time in my dreams. It really helped in this one dream where I was being pursued by a group of gangsters.
