Flying

[kel]

I've always had a little trouble flying. Yet still I need to jump off my balconies and I always use my hands as a bird would, swimming through the air. That gets tiring real fast (surprisingly) and sometimes it just fails, I can't get the right momentum. how do you guys fly so easily? OOoooOOoohh !!! i'mma get myself a magic carpet!! LOL!!

I get tired when flapping my arms like wings also. I'm sure it's all in our heads, but still. After a while, you just kind of get used to flying. What I do is I just jump up and go, not even thinking about anything. If you think before you do it, there's a chance you'll fail. Accept the fact that you're in a dream and that anything is possible.

Heh, perhaps it stems from the deep-rooted metaphor: 'Fly like a bird'. Fly like Neo or Superman is more conducive to decent flight.

I always use my hands as a bird would, swimming through the air. Lol I do the same thing usually, but when that happens I'm not usually lucid, I'm just flying in my dream thinking it's real. The only time I actually soared (like Superman) without flapping my "wings" was when I was actually lucid, and I realized I could do whatever I wanted, so I just wanted to soar, and I did. Lol.

just imagine a force pushing on your legs, is if you had rocket boot also try and visualize what it would be like to actually fly when your dreaming

I fly in short bursts it seems. I jump up and float, but can't seem to move forward. Then I focus on moving forward, and get a huge burst of energy behind me, sometimes I'll make a woooosh sound with my mouth, to get it to happen more frequently. I'll slowly glide down towards the ground before bursting up again. I remember ages ago on DV there was a technique called Zooming, were you focus on an object far away really hard, and suddenly get pulled towards it like this.

Flying or dream control in general has never been a problem for me. Expect it to happen, don't focus on the small things about flying when starting off, just.. fly. Focus on being up in the air in the position you want to fly in i.e. focus on the sky. I like to fly kinda like how they do in Dragonball Z: it makes me feel cool

Flying like characters in DBZ i wish.
