Thread: Does flying really ever get easier?

I think I know what you are talking about, but my lucids lose a sense of realism when I do that. I'm not exactly sure why, but it may have to do with the dream becoming more like a day dream... I'll have to see.

every lucid dream i've ever had i've been able to fly effortlessly. when i was around 9 or 10 i had my first lucid dream before i even heard of them, and as soon as i realized i was dreaming i flew really high up and explored until it faded away. and the second time i just flew at a high speed and plowed through buildings and houses.
but the only advice i can give you is just do it. don't even think about it, and fly. sorry but this is the best i can do. maybe you're just thinking about flying too much instead of just doing it. i don't know, maybe some can and some can't, and it may be different for you, but i never thought twice before i flew. it was never like "okay i'm going to try to fly" because "trying" implies that you might fail.

i hope this helps, and best of luck!

No, if you can't fly naturally, you're just not a flier.

It's something you're born with, not everyone can lucid dream.


sorry scrub

This might sound silly, but play FPS games. Especially ones with jetpacks. You'll learn what it looks like to fly from the first person perspective. This will make it easier.

Take a running start, and push off the ground. More like a long jump, only not! Sometimes, whether or not I run determines if I succeed.

Try laying in the grass, and releasing gravity. You should fall straight towards the clouds! If you manage to go through the clouds, you may see another earth (as if the clouds were a mirror), or perhaps the stars. You'll be able to fly.

A good way to start out learning to fly is to find a big hill or cliff. Take a running start and jump, use your arms like wings and just glide. Then after a few times you can use your wings to gain altitude, then finally you can start flying like superman. Maybe I'll write a tutorial on the stages that I went through to learn to fly.

Like anything in LDing it gets easier, I don't even think about it now, in fact, it's my primary mode of transportation in lucid dreams.

Hah, I actually did this in a WILD this morning. I was in my room, except this time I pretended that my room was on top of a 100 story building. Sure enough when I looked out the window, I saw skyscrapers everywhere. I actually saw flying cars as well. It looked a scene from the Fifth Element outside of my window. So I jumped, and free fell (you people don't know just how much I love this in my lucids!) for a bit, and then began to glide. Gliding was super easy at this point, because I was flying extremely fast. However, it all went wrong when I tried to make a turn. I smashed into the corner of a building and went spiraling out of control, and hit the street below shortly after. After that I was trying to will myself back to the top of a skyscraper, but I woke up shortly after, due to the absolute thrill I had.

sorry scrub

Yeah well this scrub can WILD any given morning with an actual attempt. Too bad I'm just lazy. Now dream control... yes I admit, I'm a scrub when it comes to dream control. But that's fine. Long as the thrills keep coming.
