Flying in Lucid

[Enrapture]

I've had the best experiences in flying with great ease in dreams when it truly crystilzes in my awareness that I am dreaming and that I need NOTHING to help me fly. It's only sheer, confidant will. I recall a dream in which I was driving a truck, for instance and it suddenly lost control and I was just spinning down the road.. then I righted myself and returned to driving straight and it spun out yet again. Seemed like a glitch in the dream that helped me I realize I was dreaming and promptly willed the truck to fly. Shortly I let go and let the car dissolve, which seemed to "hyper-boost" my awareness of self-control, where I then did what I pleased to the extent of what looked like astral travel, because I soon began spying on strangers for fun.

I've also recently discovered how amusing it is to cause 'living things' in my dreams to shape-shift into anything I think of and even turned inanimant objects into living life forms.
(once turned a room full of TVs, which were all blaring football games into pigs and then willed the old men who were glued to them to do unsavory things with them)  The most hilarious stuff ever, to suddenly assume such power over your dream world that all that is limiting what you can do, is your ability to "think on your feet".

I think when you find difficulties in flying in lucid dreams, it could be a way that  your mind is telling you that you need to work on your self-esteem. Perhaps any little snag in your confidence "dream wings" will effect the ease in which you fly?

Actions in within lucid dreams are a matter of will.  You have to know that you can fly.  That its effortless because its in the mind.  It's not a running jump type thing.  Try simply stretching towards the sky with the intention, and belief in success, of flying.  Also try walking through walls.  When you walk through a wall in a dream it really valids the "anything is possible" attitude.  By trying other physically impossible things in the dream perhaps flying will come afterwards.

You can force yourself to fly, and here's how:

Change the location of your dream to the top of a high cliff or tall building and leap off. Your feet are already free of the ground by doing this, allowing you to ignore gravity. And whether it turns out to be true flying or falling with style, your will should be able to give you more control once in the air.

Ok I have had lucids dreams 5 to be exact or what I can remember and in four of them I tried to fly. This seems to be the hardest crap to do someone please give me some way that would help me fly in a lucid dream. I just jump,jump and jump. Now something I was able to do in one was run my head through a concrete wall over and over agian that was preety fun.

There is a trick that is in astral dynamics that can help you get started with flying if your having troubles. what you do is feel and imagine as if your surrounding environment is being pulled past you. This works really well because we dont have much of a frame of reference to what flying would be like since we cant naturally do it. BUt we do know how it feels like to be in motion and by emulating those conditions while oob or in a lucid seems to work.
