I've wanted to jump into the ocean a few times in lucids, but in those instances it was too scary (and cold, bleh).

Flying has been hit or miss for me, sometimes it crosses my mind but gravity feels as real as things look. Sometimes it's natural as walking. The first LD I had after visiting here, I managed to float briefly.

I've contented myself with observing so far, not wanting to wake myself prematurely by getting frustrated with trying to control things. I thought after reading your post maybe it's not really dificult if you don't read about people needing experience to do it. A lot of times I'll do extoardinary things because it's "obvious" I can do it, that is I don't second guess my abilities, which might otherwise come from reading too much about LDs.

In other words, yay for placebo optimism.
