I think there's a page on this. Check the first post of "Dream moods" for a link.

From someone who is decent at flying in dreams yet awful at landing, let me give you some tips.

1. Start small by trying to float-skip or run fast and skim the ground. When you learn to do this it's easier to gain altitude and actualy go UPWARDS which is generaly what flying entails and not eating grass instead.

2. Imagine a solid area on your underside that is magneticaly propelling you from the ground. Try standing in a dream and pushing yourself up off the ground with your hands. Think 'levitation' rather than flying.

3. Do whatever you can to convince your brain you are indeed flying, even if you have to resort to tacky stuff like being superman, sitting on a flying carpet or flapping your arms about like a bird. It gets easier.

4. If you overconcentrate on the horizon while flying high up it can distort and make you land on a minature version of the land below XD; Sometimes for me my brain doesnt generate world fast enough... i have brain clipping *snort* Concentrate on flying and moving, and less on what is around you.

5. Jumping off stuff tends to just result in falling. Try running on flat ground and taking off.

Jump off a building.

I'm just kidding! But that dream does sound like there's something that's supposed to be happening there.. do you know what's going on in the dream, as you're having it? Maybe lucidity has something to do with your not being able to fly. Maybe you have to try and realize you have to take off before the ground opens up.

Here's a nice little secret about dream control in general. It's piss easy.

If you think you're going to fly, you will.

Simple.

If there's doubt in your mind it'll be harder, but believe in yourself! (nice and corny)

Really. It works.

XD Trip, you make me laugh. Brain clippings. ha.

yeah, it just takes a lot of concentration and awarness. i'm still stuck on skimming the ground. the first time i found out how to do that was a dream where i thought i was bubbles from the powerpuff girls. XD Also, i tried to hang-glide in a dream and it was pretty much the same as flying. Very fun practice on learning how to act like you're on something that's propelling you forward.

QFT 8D!

100% Guaranteed way to make it happen. I had a horrible time flying until I believed it could happen. Just recently, in fact, I was able to fly like so :3 (But it was more of a glide XD).

Here's my suggestion (Note.: IN A DREAM XD).:

1.) Go to a cliff, or make one appear. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN!

2.) Position yourself for the way you want to fly (i.e.: Like NiGHTS, Superman, Neo, a bird, any way you want ).

3.) Make sure you can imagine yourself flying, or have faith in what you're doing (Faith is one of the key things in Lucid Dreaming. Chances are you'll need it in doing everything from getting Lucid to merging with NiGHTS.).

4.) JUMP!

5.) Have the faith that you will fly for..... as long as you want. If falling in mid-air is your cup of tea, go ahead and do so :3.

it makes you wonder if you can die because you crashed into the ground in a dream, don't it? XD

Aw man, I hate Disney for so many reasons. They messed up a good piece of literature with that. Did anyone besides me notice how so many themes from NiD were stolen to be used in High School Musical?

[Purgatory]

I will proudly say I never made an attempt to watch High School Musical...

Anyway, Segakid, let us know how this goes, if it happens to you again! I'm sure the other folks were more helpful on it. TRiP was like a bullet, posted right on top of me. XD

You're lucky, they made us watch it after LEAP testing, it was horrible. Look for the "Breaking Free" scene on Youtube, pretty much everything in that scene was taken from NiD. Now what about TRiPPY?

[Kori]

Way to go segakid! There's nothing like experiencing flight, eh? I'm happy for you!

Flying is definitely the most amazing sensation ever. And call me looney, but I sometimes wonder if maybe, just maybe, we were almost meant to fly someday. Maybe in the past, maybe in the future, who knows what we're capable of? It'd be pretty sweet either way!

I have trouble flying in my dreams, and doing other things, like making things appear. The closest to flying I got was a time when I was only partially Lucid dreaming, I kinda knew I was dreaming but I couldn't control it. What happened was a kinda started to float, and then I drifted in a direction I couldn't control, like I was being carried by a force I couldn't feel.

[DREAMiNF]

^^; the closest i got to flying was jumping off a cliff and falling in to an eternal darkness, after I wake up I started being pissed off once I found it was a dream.

[Moriarty]

One time during one of my first few lucid dreams, I tried to fly... and tried... ...and tried, yet no matter how much I willed it to happen, my feet never left the ground. Eventually, I got annoyed at my own lack of willpower and placed myself in a fly-or-die situation. I went to the roof of a five story apartment building, and I jumped with the full intent of flying. Just before I hit the ground, I swooped up. So if you ever find yourself having a problem with control, you need to place yourself in a situation where the control becomes a need instead of a desire.

It gets easier. I've developed the ability to fly, move objects (no bigger than a car, so far), and I've been able to transfigure things, people, and even entire rooms. When I get a lucid dream these days, I tend to focus on changing the entire landscape, for instance, changing New York into a cruise ship at sea. So far, I've had little luck, but I am getting better. My eventual goal is to gain complete and infallible control of everything in my lucid dreams -- and with practice, I'm getting close. So will you, if you keep working.

[ayamemaiden]

When you try to fly make sure nothing is grabbing at you.
Trust me, it'll irritate.

Try a nice flat piece of land to start from.

I usually squat a bit and push off with my legs and flap my arms a bit.
It sounds silly, but it worked for me.

[Dark Magician]

Congratulations on acquiring the power of flight, I was going to suggest thinking like Neo did on the Matrix... but you've already got it. Unfortunately for me lucidity doesn't come easily, I'm not too good with heights, and the only dreams that involved me being in the air quickly turned into "falling into a vast ocean and drowning" dreams. So I will happily just use my broomsticks, WarpStars, and airplanes or stay on the ground unless necessary.

NiGHTS: *You're no fun*

Is it possible that phobias and fears can also have an effect on what you can do in your dreams?
