Thread: Whats your flying skill level?

Flying is the thing I always seem to wind up doing in LDs. That as it is, I've become a pretty proficient flyer over the course of about 7 LDs and 6 months. The main problem is that I need LDs.

Every lucid dream I've had, except one, I have flown in.

I never have problems unless I'm trying to fly too high. Never been successful flying to anywhere above earth's atmosphere. Not Yet, anyways!

Around a 6 - I can always fly once I am lucid, but oddly enough I frequently do not become lucid until I am flying and then I realize I'm dreaming - then I usually increase speed, etc.

whenever i fly its ALWAYS lucid!!!!
i thikn once i went into the atmosphere.. but no space

but the problem is... I DONT HAVE ANY MORE FLYING DREAMS =( saaadd...

Flying isn't hard at all for me. I just go up and about. Although I don't often fly in my dreams anymore because I'm bored of it.

I thought you did the task where we flew to another planet?

if i tried to fly aircrash investigation would be on the scene quick smart

I often have trouble flying in non-lucid dreams, or fly in very, very strange ways, but in lucid dreams, I am a pro. Since it's probably the number 1 thing I look forward to in dreams, nothing holds me back, except for losing lucidity and waking up

I've been watching those before bed. Last night, I had a semi-lucid dream (lost the low lucidity very quickly) where I was flying like in the superhero clip. I wasn't on fire or anything, but I was going that fast. It was awesome

The weirdest way I ever flew was the way that yoshi jumps in this game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uQGPJcK1d8 I had to keep jumping up and then running in midair to propel myself over houses. This was 10 years ago, when I lived in my old neighborhood and first got that game. It still stands out as the weirdest flight ever.

About a 6.5 I have flown in a variety of ways and by far the best is where I look at the spot I want to fly to, and then imagine myself being 'slingshotted' there, with the feel that my feet are the propulsion and that the angle my body is facing creates the steering.

I can pretty much fly whenever I want to

just jump.......

Level 3.

I have flown in all of my lucid dreams and it was not very hard to do. But I can't fly for a long while or over a long distance!

0? I haven't tried.

I don't understand how you can fly in a dream without becoming lucid. I know I don't fly in real life, so when I fly, I'm dreaming. If you're flying, wouldn't that fact in itself make you lucid? You wouldn't even need a reality check in that case.

Sorry, I'm just confused. :/

...no. What's to understand? It fails to make me lucid the same way that other ridiculous things in dreams may not make you lucid, like talking to the dead, being good friends with people you've never met, being other people instead of yourself, being different animals, going on ridiculous quests, finding strange places familiar even though they aren't real... I'm sure if I made flying a dream sign and did a reality check every time I thought if it, I'd become lucid. But it has never occurred to me, while flying in a dream, that I am dreaming. In fact, I've never had a flying dream where I even questioned my state of reality. I became lucid once while flying, but not because I was zooming around in midair, it was because I was being shot at with an AR-15 and it didn't hurt.

Level 6, I can fly whenever, vividly, just never tried any tricks.
