I stumbled across this site after watching Inception, which got me interested in the possibility of controlling my dreams etc. Ever since I was a kid I've had pretty good dream recall and one or two random lucid dreams.

Since I stumbled across this site around four days ago, I have had lucid dreams every night generally waking up almost as soon as I realised I was dreaming, however last night was different.

I was able to stay lucid and I thought the first thing I wanted to try was flying, I did the whole superman thing and put my hand up in the air and took off, I got quite high then felt that I ran out of fuel or something similar and came crashing back to earth, when I hit the ground it hurt.

A little later in the dream, I asked a person, how come I can get hurt in my dreams. She answered but I can't remember the answer.

Now I pose the question to you, how come I was hurt? I was sure I saw an article on here about it but can't find it, also any idea why I couldn't flight for more than a few seconds ?

Thanks a bunch,

Alex.
