That's quite an interesting idea though

I haven't flown yet, so, am I the only one missing out!

I have not tried this method yet, but has any one ever thought of using a helium tank in a lucid dream to blow yourself up like a balloon and float away?

I never quite tried 'flying', per se. Rather, for a short moment, I merely forget everything I know about gravity and its goons, and start slowly hovering. Surely it's not as exciting as downright flying all over the place a la superman, but it's certainly a step in that direction

Hmm sounds like flying if you ask me

I slowly levitate off the ground, then take off.

I use telekinesis on myself.

Actually, I'm so used to flying now that most of the time I just do it automatically without hardly thinking about it. But when I'm thinking about what I'm doing I'm using TK to move myself about. I'm still convinced it's the best method there is.

I like to fly-surf. I jump on an object (like a car or a train) and surf through the air on it.

my method of flying - I crouch and rest an arm on 1 knee and tilt my head forward, this is my 'trigger' which causes huge white wings to sprout from my back. o_o YAY. Then I just look around and wait for a gust of wind on the floor and presto i seem to be in the air flying around.

The weird thing is, you can feel the wings moving from the joints in your back.
It's great fun though. 8D

Well I play this one game called Aion. In Aion you are able to get some pretty cool wings. So I magicly grow them and im off! I love that feeling so much! ^^

I can remember my battle to fly. At first when I starting becoming lucid flying was the only thing I wanted to do. But at most I could just jump really high or float around like a dip shit. The more lucid I became, the easier it was for me. Now it's completely natural. I don't even think about it.

i like to turn into A WASP to fly aaround

it's super euphoric when i do too

Hm. I suppose. It depends on what you understand by "flying". Flying and hovering are two different things, as I understand. They may be related in a way, but it doesn't mean one has to be there for the other to happen, at least as far as dreams are concerned.
Think, airplane and chopper.
So I guess you might just have a broader definition of the word "flying" than I do, but uh, I might be going off-topic here.

As for different methods, alternatively, you could just shoot yourself out of a cannon. Or fling yourself out of a catapult. Or drink Red Bull and suddenly grow wings for no particular reason. Be creative

My first and only flying experience while lucid came about after running and jumping out the back of a moving train. My body is pretty darn aerodynamic, otherwise I would've been ground beef on the train tracks!

I guess I may see your point. The difference between floating and flying? I guess floating is more of like whatever just drifting while flying is like you're going somewhere if I'm not mistaking.

Well, when i started to play The legend of Spyro Dawn of the dragon, i found out that my freedom was to fly as a dragon over a valley.
Even if i not have been lucid so much, i choose to fly with wings!

Being able to fly as a dragon would be awesome!

You got that right!
Check out this video, it is a gameplay of a person playing the Spyro game on the valley:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3EOa_-TxQs

Awesome! Sounds dramatic!

The first time I flew I jumped very high onto a couple rooftops around my apartment building. Then I just... lifted myself into the air, kind of like Peter from heroes. (Or his brother).

There are times when it wans though, sometimes when I'm trying to RC in a lucid dream and I'm still not sure if it's a dream or not, I can't fly because I still believe in gravity.

I just kind of... go. Gravity has no effect on me in my dreams. I want to fly, I just do it. (I can go realfast)

I can't fly because I still believe in gravity.

Have you tried chanting that it doesn't exist?

I have only had 1 lucid since joining this site, but i dashed my arms in a quick motion towards the ground and looked up, and was instantly launched into the sky..
When it came to the flying an ironman/flame on style of flying worked great for me. Gave quite the thrill

Seemed simple enough really. I know gravity in my dreams don't exist, unless i create it. So removing it is just a matter of dicipline for me.

I swim through the air.
