Curious as to how many of us get to fly and control our flight when we dream. Do you fly at night (in your dreams) or is it daytime hours. Over mountains or through City scapes. Do you have to work at it hard or do you get to soar?

Personally, I have to run, commit and launch but then I'm up. I also find allot of telephone wires and other wires in the lower levels I must watch out for because when I do hit them, I get shocked and I actually feel this shock. Weird. Usually fly when it's dark out too.

Anyone else?
 
I miss those dreams. I use to fly around and burn people with fireballs. Loved it. Fly around and run on walls in the matrix killing cops. so fun
 
When I am allowed to fly in my dreams I always revert to my elementary childhood. But that is the moment and trigger to remind me i am dreaming then i know I can become lucid and all bets are off.
 
I can usually hover over the ground in a circular proximity in my dreams, or kind of hop in the air, but I have to use a motion with my arms in a particular way BUT sometimes.....

I can rocket through the air thousands of feet with my arm ball fisted straight up towards the stars at night, and then glide back down to the ground. I freakin' love it & it feels so vivid & real. I always wish I can receive that power again, but it doesn't come often.

Until then, I'll be patiently waiting :)
 
I love flying dreams. I have had them since I can remember. In my childhood dreams it felt so incredibly real. I would first stand on the back of our sofa and then take off and fly around the house. I would flick the lights on and off as I flew by them and eventually I would fly outside. Later they were always connected to nightmares--having to flee and suddenly remembering that with great effort I could actually fly. They have gotten less frequent as I age and I miss them, too, Teabag! In some of the dreams I would count how long I could stay up gliding after the extreme effort it took to get to a thermal. One of the most amazing things to me is how the body (the muscles across the chest and under the arms) feel the movements so intensely--as if we really do have some deep memory of flight.
 
My flying seems to be like swimming... Or sailing. Just my arms, like they are wings.
 
When I fly in my dreams it's normally shortly after I have become lucid..

Sometimes flight is hard.. i can shoot up into the air but then fall straight back down.. or i will have to hit something to be able to turn.. rather like bouncing around.. Sometimes I am zooming hundreds of milers per hour but most of the time i am using my hands to control my movement.

The other night i was in complete control, though.
 
I fly a lot in my dreams, some of it automatic, some of it controlled.. though the feeling is always the same. It reminds me of an epiphany type feeling that I've had on psychedelics and through meditation, like a little window has opened up and light is pouring through. I suppose it could be equated with a feeling of ecstasy or a pure positive feeling from an early childhood experience. I suspect one or more chakras are at work and that is me feeling the sensation.. I've had that a couple of times where I can feel a slightly orgasmic tension or energy located somewhere in the body (the throat area happens a lot).

I tend to levitate a lot or fly around small distances, usually to demonstrate to dream characters who is boss haha. Sometimes it comes easy.. like I consciously remember the "epiphany feeling" in the same way you can trigger the sneeze reflex sometimes by turning your mental attention in that direction. Other times I have to use a ritual like running three steps and jumping.. other times I almost swim into the air with great difficulty.

What I've found with flying great distances is that my mind has great difficulty creating the scenery fast enough.. it will shift from one scene to another and at that point somewhere in the back of my mind the real me laughs a bit and thinks "haha that was like a bad movie effect!". The few times where I've been 100% lucid and attempted flying it was even worse.. it was like the truman show or something and I'd just hit this "wall" at the edge of the scene and feel a tangible sensation of being unable to go any further. Very strange. I wonder if perhaps I'm reaching the limits of the brains capacity for instant imagination or something? Like it can handle shifting scenes but it can't handle replicating lots of data in quick succession.

I remember once becoming lucid and tried flying straight up towards space. I could see the night sky and so that's where I tried to go. But again the scenery shifted and instead of being in a vast expanse I was in this space where all the stars were hanging from threads in close proximity to each other, again very much like a movie set. I even remember touching them and feeling really disappointed haha.

When it comes to lucid dreaming and focusing intently on objects or parts of the scene the detail can be incredible, but again I've often felt like my brain has a limited capacity (or maybe I have limited energy?) to create the objects.
 
very cool everyone. Hey, do you ever wake up in your own room, everything is the same but the haze or tint is different and you realize, your still dreaming? One time I woke myself up because I just couldn't be sure I wasn't about to actually leap out my three story window. These flying dreams are different from my other ones. I'll often see pearl white glowing trees without leaves. Anyone else know what this might mean? Ever floated to the ceiling of your room?

Yeah, flying. What a wonderful thing.

I think we actually go there. I got to say, I really do. Out of our bodies and into the alternates, which may be around us all the time but only accessible when we are safe in dream land. What do you folks think? and what's your level of control when your there? When you were younger, did these dreams start off by a feeling of sinking but once you were brave enough to give in and just let it go, Poof, outer space or through the mountains ya go. Anyone?
 
Flying dreams are my all-time favorite dreams!!
I've been having them as long as I can remember. However, back then, they were more like falling dreams. I would be on the ground and get swooped up in a huge gust, be taken up to what seemed like a few thousand feet in the air. I remember seeing the minuteness of life below me. The lights, buildings, features looked like dots from that height. Then out of nowhere I would begin plummeting to Earth at incredible speeds. The same gut feeling you get when going down a massive hill on a rollercoaster times 10 is what I would feel. Usually, I would swoop back up within a few feet of the ground. Most of the time I would just be taken back to the sky to fall again, but sometimes I would be lucky enough to dig myself into the ground to save my ass.
For many years, that's how my flying dreams went. I would hate them so much.
As I started into my teenage years I started to develop more dream-balls. I started to gain control of my falling but I was still unable to liftoff whenever I wanted; babysteps. It was kind of like a dolphin swimming, flopping around in the direction I wanted to go and letting momentum take me. I was still having problems landing safely; there were plenty of times where I would smack the ground at 1000mph. I would never feel any pain though.
Then, more recently, I have become completely lucid in my flying dreams (only in my flying dreams though).
Now, with a running start, all I have to do is dive into the air and generate the necessary lift with my sky swimming to go even higher than I would go as a kid. The only difference now is that I have complete control. I go up as high as I can go and dive to the Earth to gain incredible speed. I can feel the drag, the wind ripping at my face, the old gut feeling; but I love it now. I perform insane maneuvers to see how extreme I can push things.
Usually in these dreams, I am trying to escape something. Security gaurds, people I don't like, parents, etc.; never anything serious like a guy with a knife or something. I usually laugh and throw insults as I get away.
I love that sense of freedom...
 
I have many flight dreams where I'm even showing others how to fly in the dream. And had asked these people if their aware that they are dreaming. I had been told or read that if you find your hands in your dreams it is then that you can fly. I've used objects including a broom for flight, most of my flights I have control though I have fallen but had no fear because I always am aware that it is a dream. Happy flights. Side note bummer most people online ever yesterday my birthday and I wasn't there. Flight delay I guess.
 
HeWhoHowls, really glad your controlling your flight now. Can't imagine slamming into the ground at such high speeds. I'd be worried about my ticker getting all up in arms. Really enjoyed reading your process. Yes, there is nothing quite like it.

ShadowBlaze, hands hey? INteresting. I'll be looking for them next time i'm out. Wish I could fly a broom. Hey, Happy belated B day.
thanks for sharing.

Usually i'm on Earth. Only Planet hopped once to my memory. still, something else... Hey, anyone else deal with wires and cables, you know, the one's draped through mountain passes when they fly? Curious.
 
How can you tell they be out of body; I mean, is there a visual or different feeling when out of body compared to a normal flying dream? a cord of sorts? Can you see yourself sleeping while you leave? Just curious
 
I have flown in two Lucid dreams in the past 6 months. Both incredible and random experiences. I flew above a lake that I would always go out on when I was a kid, and I also tried to "fly" into my friends dream because I Was so excited lol
 
I sometimes have a hard time distinguishing if it's just a flying dream or a flying dream mixed with the astral. Sometimes my dream characters are IRL friends and they claim on those nights that they also had dreams featuring visits by me. I love flying dreams. Sometimes I don't have them for a long time, but every now and then I'll have a panic dream where I need to escape and I can suddenly fly.

I've had so many dreams of me flying over cities I've never been to, I can't even count them all. It's rare that I have a flying dream of being out in the wilderness or something.
 
^ nice. when I get to fly through skyscrapers I find I often attempt to get inside them from high up outside balcony's. Landing can be interesting. So is not getting caught. ha. Found a lovely spa once on a high floor but the staff didn't believe that I was a guest and called security. Luckily I just bolted and jumped, soared away. What a great feeling; still, would've liked to have had that dip in that lovely hot pool. maybe one day.
 
I have had a flight dream 3 times in my life, each time it was quite vivid and became lucid, except the last time it never quite became lucid (I hardly EVER have lucid dreams). The first time was as a kid, I leapt off a cliff and flew around, gradually returning to the ground. Then I realized it was a dream and immediately woke up, much to my disappointment. The second time I was in an anxiety dream where this big entity was trying to kill me, and I realized I was dreaming and began to control it... I flew into the air, and shot a beam of energy from my hands which felt AMAZING, such a tremendous release of power. But then the dream started fading since I knew it was a dream and I woke up (again, much to my disappointment). The third time was quite recently, I was in the water with my entire extended family and I flapped my arms and lifted slightly. I flapped twice and lifted even more. I was really excited but my family was completely disinterested. So I started flapping repeatedly and flew high up into the air, and then started falling when I stopped. I flapped a few times before I landed to soften the landing. It felt so amazing... then I woke up. Bummer.
