Thread: Dream Flying

you have to let it all go. fear, doubt, disbelief. free your mind.

adding on to Buddah's comment, heres my method

The more you flex your left ankle, the higher you go. Moving your left leg controls direction and speed(the more you move your leg in a direction the faster you will go) and then you just turn by tilting and turning
(it will feel natural to turn like this)

lol Matrix moment? Reminds me that I still want to jump skyscrapers

Anyway with that said, try telling yourself in the dream "gravity doesn't exist!". Works for me in a surprising way

I get that problem too, and have had good success with flying in a standing position instead of stretched out like Superman. In theory the standing position flight should work for everyone.

yumster i tried a variation of your method last week after reading about something like it, but it didnt seem to help much and @The Cusp, ive always tried to fly just standing, like in heroes.

You could try to focus more on your point of view, and less on your body. Focus on the sensations of flying, and the movement. Don't worry too much on the mechanics of it, or what your body is doing.

the only time i remember flying in a dream was in a non-lucid. i was flying upright. it was so amazing that i screamed "YES!" in the dream.

Hmmm... That's a thought that would have worked for sure. Does it at least grant you a decent amount of flight control when you can manage to stay airbourne?

Could it be we just run out of gas while lucid flying? Because that's a very common problem. Nah, that can't be true, because I have overcome it on several occasions. Try increasing your speed.
