This normally happens to me with the ability to fly. I am clearly defying gravity, yet I don't even find it very unusual.

It's like my subconscience knows I don't like it and remembers my thoughts that I can do anything in a dream and it "thinks it" for me before "I" can think it.
That makes a lot of sense. I'd never thought of it like that. Maybe our subconscious always knows when we're dreaming, even when we aren't consciously aware of it. If only we could find a way to tap into this on a regular basis...
