Thread: MY FIRST FLYING EXPERIENCE! ALSO I NEED SOME HELP.....

This is part of a longer dream I just copied the part where it got lucid from my journal :

I was sitting in some cafe with the girl in a booth. She was sitting on the outside of the booth seat and I on the inside to her right, and we were alone at the table. She was telling me about something, I don't remember what, and I recalled my dream about the long hair from earlier. I was thinking how I should have recognized the dream sign and become lucid. Suddenly I wondering if I was dreaming then, at first I thought no this has to be real. But then I interrupted her in whatever she was saying and asked "where are we? What city?" I wasn't sure what city I lived in but somehow I knew no matter what she said it would confirm I was dreaming. She kind of hesitated and during this time I COULD FEEL MY BODY LYING IN BED! I could feel my legs together and realized I was naked (I was sleeping naked). I hoped I wouldn't wake up. The girl answered we were somewhere in Michigan. I kissed her on the cheek and said thanks! I got up and we were both naked. She was shocked she was suddenly naked but I knew it was b/c I was dreaming. I said something like "I'll get your number from ____ and call you later!" I ran down this hall to an open window and shouting "YES!!! I'M DREAMING!!!!" and leapt out the window. I've had trouble flying before and just sort of floated but this time I SOARED up really REALLY high and was doing all these rolls and flying upside down like an airplane (at the least the airplane my friends fly in GTA San Andreas). I was way above the clouds and looked down and felt sort of scared but not really. I was going to try and fly down and do something else but my boyfriend moved beside me in bed and the dream faded as I woke up. I was very close to waking up any way. The funny thing is, as I woke up I had the remains of this song in my head, it was no song I'd ever heard but I realized it was some very gay sounding song about flying that was "playing" as I was flying!!! God I wished I had stayed asleep longer....

My question is....does anyone have any techniques to keep from waking up when something happens in the real world like this? I felt I could have kept flying but I was so close to waking up (I usually naturally wake up around the same time everyday) and my boyfriend BARELY moved beside me. As I felt the dream fading I really wanted to hang onto sleeping but I couldn't. I know about the spinning thing....but I was FLYING! I have never tried that anyway this being only my third LD and I haven't had much control in any of them. Please help!!!
