I am reading this book "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" by Stephen Laberge. In it he talks about the MILD technique. It has been incredibly successful for myself. So in the past 4 LD's I have had, I've really had a desire to fly around. Now; i always thought that its possible the 1st time you dream to fly but its not really working for me. Every time I try and go fly, it seems more like a bunny hop. Like i jump pretty high but i seem to glide back to down to the ground. If any of you have played any of the Halo games, you'll know exactly what i'm talking about.

So is flying an acquired skill or is it a off the bat action?
And what can I do to help me learn to fly?
