Experiment

[AndrewTheSinger]

There's something that happens with me when I jump very high or fly in a straight vertical line, I'm thinking it can be a universal type of phenomenon, alike slow astral motorcycles and pets that turn evil.

I would like to receive some people's feedback. For the sake of the experiment I will not say yet what happens, so I'd request you try and reply.

You just have to find a place in your dream where you can jump or fly straight upwards at least more than 6 meters high. If possible, try also to jump, and when you feel the impulse is decaying, you start flying, really turn your jump into a flight in midair.

I'm awaiting your responses.

All I have to do is just feel like I am floating and I can fly, but I then flow slow.

If you run, then jump, you will fly fast.

I just fly when I do that, having complete control over the speed, altitude, maneuvering and every other aspect of flying. But I don't wave my hands, and no "superman position" with a hand forward, I just fly with my body sort of hanging, as if I was in outer space.

I'm interested to know what happens exactly when you try to rise straight upwards, in a straight vertical line only, and higher than 6 meters above the ground.

I used the word fly, but I really mean rise. Rise from the ground that high and tell me what happens.

i'm not much good at control but sometimes when i realize that am dreaming and choose to go up and hover above where i was... some times i see something i wanted to see and i fly over to it..  and sometimes the ground plane seems to crumble or fold in on itself.. or just start losing features that i can recognize(like the reverse of a building being built)

again i'm not very good with control.. but from my memory this is what happens to me sometimes

Dream flight for me seems to have become associated with swimming (perhaps not hard to see why), so in many of my flying dreams I 'swim' (front or back stroke) through the air. Flying is different in AP, it's more floating and movement without thinking about it (like moving an arm requires no pre-thought, we just seem to do it).

Im pretty good at dream flight, i have little or no problems usually, when it comes to flying straight up however i struggle. One of three things normally happens when i attempt a true vertical takeoff. Either i hit some invisible ceiling and cant get any higher, i fall back down after a certain height, or everything goes black and ill then wake myself to write the dream down.

Hope this helps,

In my case I start going really fast, then have some sort of 'phase shift' and end up in what you could call 'fake outer space'.  The last 2 times that I tried this someone jumped up and grabbed me, kind of like an anchor and pulled me back down.  That made me come back to my chair.

Cool, good posts, I can relate to many of the things you guys said.

It's funny how these strange things happen, I was probably wrong and what I experience may be not a very common thing, but when I rise I am pulled backwards first, and then downwards. It's just that it happened on  so many occasions during different times in my life that I was sure it was some kind of universal thing. The 'pulling downwards' part seems to be however. No one remembers ever being pulled backwards?

Thanks for the replies.

[Leilah]

Maybe I have. Whenever I fly up vertically, un-intentionally, I am usually pulled up from behind, facing down. Is this what you mean by pulled up backwards? If so, then I definitely know what your talking about. It only happens on occasion and ... I don't really understand why either.

[AndrewTheSinger]

Hmm, yeah, I think so Leilah, it's like 'falling' horizontally first, and then vertically. Face down you mean like diving?

[Leilah]

Eh. Well, yes face down like sky diving but being lifted upwards.
