Thread: Fail and fall

I've done it in many non-lucids - any time I find myself on a rooftop or a very high place I guess I can tell it's a dream and I jump off, feeling a rush of joy as I do it. Then I always end up flying in some way or other - sometimes right away, sometimes just before I hit the ground. Yes, like eldante says, bravery is key.

Put it this way, if you're standing on a rooftop and thinking that if you jump off you might actually be able to fly, then you can pretty well bet you're dreaming. Unless you've been taking acid or something.

OMG I never thought of this! If you do drugs or if you don't know for sure you are dreaming, don't jump. What you are doing when you are dreaming is not with your physical body. If you can tell you are dreaming, everything is different and you can do and experience many things that the body itself is not physically capable of.
