I can fly! What? I'm dreaming?

[JohnnyTruant]

So, I have been sparsely lucid dreaming since I was 15 or so. Around then I started smoking pot and foolishly lost interest. It's hard not to noticed that a lot of people on this forum had a lot of trouble before even having their first LD, so I feel lucky in a sense. I started having them more often lately, unprovoked besides pondering on LD occasionally. I ran into my arch nemesis again, the immediate awakening upon lucidity. I noticed that sometimes effective techniques will not work solely because you expect them to so, ironic if you ask me. So, all I can say is LET IT HAPPEN people. If you want to fly, just let it happen. Sometimes I'll fly without even being fully lucid, I just seem to visualize energy flowing down through my body and out through my feet like water going out of a nozzle.

So, I have been sparsely lucid dreaming since I was 15 or so. Around then I started smoking pot and foolishly lost interest. Amen! It happened to alot of us. It's hard not to noticed that a lot of people on this forum had a lot of trouble before even having their first LD, so I feel lucky in a sense. I started having them more often lately, unprovoked besides pondering on LD occasionally. I ran into my arch nemesis again, the immediate awakening upon lucidity. I noticed that sometimes effective techniques will not work solely because you expect them to so, ironic if you ask me. It is ironic, and sort of a vicious cycle. I think that it should be clearer that some of these methods don't work for everyone, and do not expect a universal 'cure'. So, all I can say is LET IT HAPPEN people. If you want to fly, just let it happen. Sometimes I'll fly without even being fully lucid, I just seem to visualize energy flowing down through my body and out through my feet like water going out of a nozzle What?
