i need to know how you fly

i just need to know how your favorite flying type is because i ran out of ideas.

My favorite type is to have a helicopter pack, shape like a jet pack but instead of engine, there is a propel(helicopter spinning thingy, i didn't know how to spell the proper word and it didn't show on the spell check) on top of the "pack" strap on to my back.

do you have trouble flying? because you should check the dream control and tutorial sections?

but if not...I usually just dive forwards, at the ground, and pull up before i hit the ground....and keep swooping to gain momentum

Hm, this thread betrays your post. What I mean by that Dreammy, is that the thread title insinuates you are having trouble flying yourself therefore need to know how "we" fly. But...since you've mentioned what your favorite flying style is...I'm now led to believe you're just interested in knowing everyone else's. Assuming I'm correct...I'm going to go ahead and say Superman Style!!!

The search button would be your best friend I can think of about 3 flying topics currently active in the forums right now.

Holy crap, I've flown with the same jet pack type helicopter. Weird.

I use my arms as wings.

I'ts kind of funny because I've only had minimal success with LD's, but I have never had a problem flying. It was pretty easy for me in all of my lucids. I'm not sure how I do it, I just do it. Without thinking about it or anything, I just do it.

I soar in the place's/planets megnetic field..
Using my-own.. (The body's.)

Some times take of from ground.. Some times must jump a little..
Some times I take of from a small hill.. Etcetera..

Magic feather. Or stick, whatever's available near you if you can't make things appear...just hold it or stick it in your pocket, and it will give your mind the confidence that you can fly, so you don't start doubting it (which is the whole trouble with flying in LDs, you think you can't do it at some subconscious level, so you can't.) But having that little feather "justifies" that for your brain, thus eliminating the problem.

i fly in a lot of my dreams. it's just as common or more common than walking, and usually i think nothing of it. if i am soaring (feel the air rushing around me, hear it too), that's when i consider it flying. no wings, no jet packs. i spread my arms and they work as wings- i mean, not flap flap, but they determine the direction i'm going in. i don't fly horizontally. i fly vertically. my legs do whatever the air makes them do. once i'm in the air it's effortless. no physical effort. just the desire to reach a destination, and that gets me there.

sometimes i can't fly when i want to. i'd spread my arms and strain. pisses me off when i can't soar. i either remain on my tiptoe or hover there with m arms out. or when i want to change direction while flying, i stay hovering in the air in the same spot.

basically, if i want to FLY, the action, then i can't. if i want to BE at a certain DESTINATION, i DO fly.

i just got another LD dream and this time i was flying with a kinda like a hover broad and the awesome-as thing was that i was flying fast-as through a forest full of high trees. It was awesome and it got even better when 2 missile were chasing me.
