Flying is a near perfect expression of freedom; you can go anywhere you want, in a manner that just smacks waking-life physical restrictions right in the face.

Empowerment.

Flying is an almost unconscious expression of power; an action that easily states the "I can do anything" rush that comes with LD's, especially early on.

Fun.

And, of course, flying can be a hoot!

So: Freedom, power, and great fun; those are some pretty good reasons for novices to fly, I think!

You make some good points there, I myself choose Freedom, Freedom is Fun
In my first lucids I not only choose to fly over the city, but also to jump from rooftop to rooftop, which nowadays is called parkour btw and some suicidal jumps from the top of 20 floor buildings

I soared gloriously through the void last night, twisting and turning, tumbling and free-falling through a blackness that felt like pure, un-reflected light. I ended up back in my bed where I put fingers through both palms....just for good measure. Then I proceeded through four different dream sequences, each of which left me back in my bed with an important image.

I only say all that because these nights happen almost naturally now. I have not used a classic induction technique in months. Last night, though, I got up after four hours and ran through an abbreviated Tsa Lung Trulkhor followed by a very strong thirteen breath Inner Fire (Tummo) meditation.

I have been building my lucid mansion from the bottom up....and it's getting pretty comfortable now.
