Last night I had my first LD but I couldn't fly very well. I tried running fast then jumping, just plain jumping, and I tried to just make myself hover. Well, my result to those were: the first time I tried I stayed airborne for 10 seconds or so. Second time, I stayed about 20 seconds...the last time...fail.

Another thing, can you control lighting in your dreams? I tried to, It worked, but only a little. I made a little lighter outside in the dream and I thought just doing that was a pretty nice accomplishment for a first try. But I want to be able to control the lighting in my dreams pretty much completly, any tips?
