I was just wondering, when you get an LD, ,have you ever thought about touching a cloud to see what it feels like when you fly? Why i bring this up is because i doubt anyone had ever touched a cloud before (besides maybe a humidifier), so nobody actually knows what it feels like. This this task must be done with extreme vividness or else you wont get the full experience.
-As for me, it feels like an extremely soft bed of feathers that i can just rest for hours on.:zzz:
I've flown through clouds in LDs and the usually don't feel like very much of anything to me.
There was a lucid task a while back where in a Lucid Dream we were to turn into a giant and suck in a cloud, located HERE if you want to read the results. I think I completed the task later. I remember sitting up in a hollow in the clouds and just relaxing. It was soft and serene.
Exactly like they do in real life, same with taste. Just water vapor, kind of wet, but airy.
Hmm, i think since many people haven't touched a cloud in the sky before, your mind would create a much different feeling than fog itself.Quote:

So, go ahead and see what the clouds feel like in your dream :)
I really REALLY wish clouds felt like marshmallows. They make me feel all romantic... but sadly they tend to be a bit whispy and nothingy
We had a task last year (if memory serves) that involved growing huge and sucking in a cloud. It didn't taste like anything, but it was refreshing.
I fly through clouds often in my lucids. Other than obscuring my vision, they never seem to have much substance.
Fog is a cloud, that's fly to me, they feel the exact same way.
Thats interesting especially since whenever i am flying, clouds are actually pretty solid when i lay down on them. But if it comes to wanting to fly through them, it takes much more effort to go through them, sort of like trying to swim through water.Quote:

sounds like a neat idea which i look forward to trying
Yeah, it's one of the most relaxing thing to do in a dream, especially when the dream is set over the ocean early in the morning, so the sun leaves a delicate sparkle on top of the water.Quote:

Heavy fogs are mearly clouds. That is exactly how a cloud feels. Not hard, eh?
Uh, yeah a number of people have said that :P Next time I'm flying I'll land on a cloud and lay down, maybe then dive from it into that ocean that cameraman talked about.
The point i was trying to pick at was that your mind most likely wouldn't just make it feel like particles of water that you can pass through. Instead, it should feel like something that you touch more often that has some sort of resemblance of a cloud, like a marshmallow or a feather maybe.
