It's all about confidence. Sometimes when we experience LDs that are too realistic, we can't help but second guess ourselves or feel a little awkward trying to fly in an otherwise normal environment. I think with flying, you basically just have to go the 'don't think - just act' route. If you start thinking about it too much you may become uncertain of your abilities!

yeah I was never all that good at flying. Something that helped me was finding something that looks like it could fly if you really wanted it to, like a bike on ET or something. I had a lucid dream where I found a surfboard in my garage and I used that. I just got on it as if it were a magic carpet or something and just started to fly, then after I got the hang of being in the air, i let the surfboard go and started flying better than I normally do. Just a suggestion, I dont know how well it would work for other people, but it's always good to be creative in LDs

Using objects, indeed, can help. I once used a motorcycle to fly, because my body couldn't. One remark : the more I gain control over the environments (and objects, and people, and events), the less I am able to fly, at least not very high in the sky. I don't know why.

How do you fly? Know a sciense to back it up? Hint: Magnetic fields could be one.. Either way. I found that there are some places where I cannot fly, then I relocate, and fly with all ease! ... There are many kinds of ways to fly/soar/floate, etcetera...

I noticed something similar. I cannot always "fly" high... Smometimes, it is like just 5 meters above the ground... I learn more and more each time I recall dreams.. Interesting topic!

I find concentration to be the problem. I usually just throw myself in a direction, not thinking about it. Just trying to move as easily and as simply as if I were walking.

You're almost there. I like what the others have been saying about using objects to float or fly on. But they way I recommend to at least start flying is to start floating. To do that I would put my arms out a little from my sides almost as if I was being frisked. When you do this you should find that you are completely relaxed. Once there just let yourself "fall" backwards as if into a pile of pillows. If all goes as planned you're half way there. This is usually the point where I feel weightless and can start propelling myself in different directions. Good luck!

I've had the same problem, you just have to try different things until you find one that works. For me, it was learning telekinesis, then using it on myself.

I used to always have problems keeping my elevation. I move in a direction fine but Id slowly sink towards the ground. To begin with I'd soely concentrate on going UP, once i was in the air about 30 or so feet I'd begin to move in a direction, still concentrating on upwards movement. Ive had probably 15 or so flying dreams, which each one I get better at it. I envy those who can just soar their first time flying =/
