Thread: I know it's such a common topic...

Sometimes I fly well, sometimes I don't.

I've never had trouble flying, I fly like my namesake; fully in control and maneuverable, fast when I want to be or just hovering standing upright if I so desire.

I have only once experienced any problems, and I'm still not sure exactly why it wouldn't work. Maybe my dream flight license got temporarily revoked.

Flying lags like in an internet game for me sometimes. I want to go left but I still fly towards a building and I know if I'll hit it I'll wake up Sometimes I swim in the air instead of super flying. Sometimes I can't get high enough.

Flying has always been an okay i want to fly thing for me. never had any issues.

we should start a frequently awesome flyers' trans-reality association... acronym-ized: FAFTA.

well first i can tell you that you are lucky! i have never flown in an LD. maybe it is just your natural talent. like some peoples can play the piano, some can sing, you can just fly... i wish i had your talent

try pretending you're a jet! that's how I do it. hope you get to fly soon!

i hope that i can fly too soon also. thanks for the advice i will try it tonight

I fly when I feel I want to fly. It is easy for me to fly. I just think about it and it happen. that what I do in all my lucid dreams. I just think and feel what I want and it happen.

that is strange i have never heard of it happening like that...i guess it really does work.

I taught myself to fly in my dreams when I was younger. I remember giving myself classes

At first I used to take a big jump and just hope for the best.
I would occassionaly get scared because I wasn't good at controlling height.

Now I fly everytime I have an LD. I don't have to think much about it now. Everthing is well controlled and smooth I just kinda think it and I'm up and away. No effort needed.

I think the more you do it and become confident the easier it becomes.

Me too, I've never had trouble flying.

I've never had trouble flying. Maybe it's because I used to fly a lot in my normal dreams anyway?

I have a very active imagination. it part of the reason I can do things without effort I view lucid dreaming control as an effortless thing

When I first discovered I could lucid dream as a preteen, I was only able to fly very low to the ground- so low I'd skin my shins on the concrete. Nowadays, I can go as high as I want (which is never very high... I really get more thrill out of taking off and swooping than heights). It happened pretty naturally, too... no exercises or mantras. Perhaps it is reflective of how I've matured over the years.

Took me a while to fly and I started by just levitating and then slowly progresed to flying in the room and then onto going outside (was a long process). But now I fly like superman flys with so much percision and accuracy it great.

For those that cant do it yet, you should try with some simple exercises like lying down and trying to lift lower of upper part of ur body and then progress onto full levitation (from there u should no how to progress)

Thats how it worked for me! I was standing there and I said to myself "I want to fly" with my arms dangling at my sides I proceeded to lift them slowly and I arose from the ground and flew with great agility!
