Thread: Why do people like flying in LDs?

Hm, perhaps it's a difference in feeling. When I fly it feels much like I'd imagine soaring over New York City as free as a bird

i have the same feeling

And-- you've only flown once?

because it sucked

If you've had the same feeling I described I find it hard to believe that it sucked. Sure I've flown and felt very little. I've flown and had the dream pop on me. Yes, sometimes it does suck. It's a little perturbing though that you're so adamant about not flying (going so far as to ask others why) when you've experienced it once and assumed that's all there is to it.

Mes is right, each time is different. It can have a lot to do with vividness and control. But if you don't want to try it again, then that's fine. I guess the overall answer to your thread's question is 'because people experience it differently'.

I really like swimming in dreams, so even when I'm flying it's usually more like I'm swimming through the air. It's a very liberating sensation either way. It's also just interesting seeing everything from above, and being able to look over a large landscape.

I have a serious lack of control in lucid dreams. Every time I fly I either hit the ground imediately or fly for a VERY short distance.

uh, what DO you classify as an exciting experience if that isnt?

Realize that your flying experience is only what you think of it to be. It's all in your head. If you think flying is dull, it's going to be dull.

flying dreams how can that b dull?

I wish I had mo flying dreams

...You'd rather walk?

You'd rather walk?
