Good morning,

Just wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself as I have only just signed up.
I am twenty two years old and have had roughly five Lucid Dreams over the years although I have only had two where I was able to use some control.

Flying is my main dream symbol, I often find myself just taking off without trying and this helps me get lucid.

One question I have is how can I control my altitude better when flying in a lucid.
I always seem to keep getting higher and higher without being able to stop it.
In the waking world I am a little phobic of heights and I get the same feeling,
a sort of sinking in my stomach when flying in a lucid.
I keep getting higher until I wake myself up.

Any advice or tips are really appreciated.

Hey there and welcome to the forum!!
Sounds like you are already at a good start as it is, if you have had 5 LDs, and 2 w/somewhat control. Many members that have joined have had difficulty having one!!
Flying is just about everyone's favorite dreaming activity. If you want to control your flight, believe you can, and it should happen. You could try to keep closer to the ground, maybe only as high as a single house, if you believe you can.
Another thing is to face your fears. Remember in a dream, nothing can happen to you in reality, so if you remember that, you should have no prob w/your fear of heights.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!!
