Thread: What's your method of flying?

I personally found the technique of not trying to fly but rather imaging the feeling of flying. Always works for me at least.

C.C.

Swimming sounds fun,though I just use wings, if I ever get the hang of flying again I might try that.

I flew once in a lucid dream, I just kinda moved straight up like I was in an elevator, I was beside a tall apartment building. I almost lost it trying to switch to sideways to get on the roof!

The other times I have flown I took off like a plane, I spread my arms a bit turned into the wind and caught the wind with my jacket and body, lean into it a bit and just run!
It's a bit of an effort to get up but once you get above the buildings and trees it's a blast!

Hmm good ones. I like the one about imagining what it feels like to fly.

Keep them coming

Well i have only flown a couple of times, but i have a lucid recently where i was able to fly.

I was able to fly by simply jumping into the air, sence i don't believe gravity exists in dreams.

When im having problems flying, i just imagine im standing still and the world is moving.

Whenever I go lucid, the first thing I do is fly. I use different methods.

1.) Like any of the posters before me, I run as fast as I could and then jump as high as I can.

2.) I climb up buildings then jump and glide then fly.

3.) I put my fists up like what superman does and imagine that I'm being directed by my fists to go where ever direction I want to go.

4.) When I just want to float around, I imagine myself as light as a feather and just ride the wind beneath my feet.

I hope those helped.

To get off the ground, I just lean forward fall, but just tense my dream muscles a bit and fall slowly, then float up. Once I get high enough, I just imagine air jets coming out of my fists and fly around iron man style

Haha nice

I just flap my arms a few times to get of the ground, and then i go superman style.

I tried to fly once.
I just put my arms into the air and pushed. I just seemed to hover, then I woke up in full sleep paralysis and it felt as though my arms were still in the air.
Weirdest feeling ever.

I have to swin into the air, it's hard work! Though one time I had a dream that i was Maximum Ride, so I had wings. Still not that easy for me though...

Usually when I want to fly it is because I have to get away from some monsters or guys trying to catch me.. What I do then is to simply jump

Other than that I have to direct some kind of "force" downwards and jump at the same time, just like a rocket

I can't imagine

This is common for me too. If I'm being chased by something, sometimes I end up flying... or jumping really high.

Usually just willing myself to float does it. I never "jump" into flying.

I also just "decide" to fly and up I go. I don't anything in particular with my arms so they free to do other stuff. I do notice a sense of thrust down around my legs tho.

No thrust feeling for me, no... if I could compare it to anything at all it would be something like some invisible giant picking me up, maybe, but that's also not exactly right.

About a week ago, I jumped up pretty high, but I ducked before I could hit some telephone wires. I landed pretty hard and made a big crack in the concrete. It was pretty awesome (I was lucid). It was almost like flying.

look up, put your arms out straight and count down from 5


iv never tried this but i would expect some high speeds from it

I remember, in one dream, I was having trouble flying. The simplest solution that came to mind was to turn the air into water, then swim. Strange thought process, there.

Those both sound interesting... Like counting down to launch. Though turning the air into water doesn't sound easy. Maybe just swimming through the air as if it is water?

Sometimes I use flying as an RC. "If I can fly, I must be dreaming."

I usually accomplish flying by means of jumping off from a high place, or just jumping and then bouncing off the floor.

Has anyone actually turned into iron-man and killed some baddies? That would be, hmm, great!
