Mastered Flying
I’ve been a long time lucid dreamer but flying is something I’ve always struggled with.
I could get myself floating but then usually end up stuck on a glass ceiling or something and could never get myself to move.
I’d just be floating and trying to “swim” through the air not getting anywhere.
But last night something clicked and by the end of the dream I was running an obstacle course in the clouds teaching others to fly.
I’ll share but all of this is my opinion of course and your mileage may vary.
To float or get off the ground or catch yourself falling is a lot controlling that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach on a roller coaster in real life.
In your dream find/feel that sensation and then move it up or down. I would suspect real life energy work helps your dream self learn to do this.
Moving forward was still the hardest bit for me and I realized the issue was fear.
In waking life I am not great with heights and I realized seeing where I could go made me afraid.
So it close my eyes and roll over on my back (like a back stroke in water) but I keep my arms tight across my chest and instantly I’m moving at high speed in whichever direction I point my head.
Turns out you don’t have to worry about bonking your head on anything because you will just pass through it.
After that realization I could start to open my eyes and roll over into the typical flying position.
Lifting things is still not easy for me though. At one point some of my “students” who were having a hard time getting off the ground wanted me to pick them up but they were just “too heavy” for me to lift.
I told myself I was just going to start small and just progressively add more weight to my pockets to build up my strength.
Hope this helps a fellow oneironaut!
