Why is flying so...well Great?

[Creation X]

either lucid or non-lucid, flying is my, and many others, most favorite thing to do. I get that, but what's so great about it? It's overwhelming, and I need an answer

Imagine soaring over Mt. Everest, diving and swerving through the grand canyon, fleeing into the soft wispy-ness of the clouds . . . why is it so great? Maybe it's because it's because we can't do it in real life, unless we get a genetic enhancement, but we'd probably pull of an iron man in around 2040 . Maybe because it's so calming, and thrilling a the same time, feeling the air in your hair. But I haven't gotten to that stage yet, so wave off my post here XD.

that's what I was looking for. Thrilling and calming. thank you my friend ^_^

Many people enjoy flying, simply because its an experience you'll never get in Real Life. Its also enjoyable because its one of the easiest things to do while Lucid, which makes it an appealing choice. Since flying is simple enough (for many anyway), they enjoy doing it even more.

but we'd probably pull of an iron man in around 2040 . http://hackedgadgets.com/2008/04/18/...ed-flying-man/ Close enough... But I agree, flying is just awesome because its one of those things you just can't do in real life...

I actually don't really enoy the rare instances of flying in my dreams...because it's always more like being suspended in the air and being afraid of falling... irl I've got some acrophobia

I truly dunno, flying is boring, teleporting is far better for me, tough sometimes the scene may require me to fly, so to do it. I suppose it has something to do with humans and their envy on birds flying lol

I suppose it has something to do with humans and their envy on birds flying lol Flying is probably boring because you've done it so many times, as have I. It's not necessarily boring, to me, but not something I strive for in lucid dreams. For those who are new to LD'ing, it's fun, and worth trying. Flying was the first thing I would do, back when I discovered LD'ing in 1986. It's fun, it makes you feel free, and it depletes you from all responsibilities. Walms, was flying really boring when you first started to LD? Just curious. It wasn't for me. It is now, but it wasn't for about 10 years.

The answer is simple. Freedom! People may not realise it but no1 is free anymore, we are all locked into a world where we are controlled by governments and corruption. Flying is freedom at its finest!

I don't fly very often in LD's, mostly because when I wake up I feel like, sure that was really great, but that it was a waste of an opportunity to try something new.
