How to fly and how to LD (easy tip)
OK guys, I think I have stumbled upon a simple yet amazingly powerful ways to enter LD's with ease and an easy way to fly.
1-How to LD; Ok so this is something I made up. To do it you just essentially say to yourself as you fall asleep ",100- I'm aware and dreaming...NOW. 99- I'm aware and dreaming...NOW... and so on. It is just a slight variation on the technique mentioned in the "52 ways to LD" on Rebecca's site.
2-How to Fly; For this one you just basically look at the sky and say "THIS IS MY DREAM AND I CANFLY! Most of the time I simply teleport in to the sky and am flying. :)
Anyway, hope these tips help, but let it be known that no LDing technique is 100% fool-proof. Happy dreaming! :D
Unfortunately neither of those things help me. I can count down from 500 and still not go into a LD with that method.
THIS IS MY DREAM AND I CAN FLY!
I think that is something which most who cant fly have certainly tried.
I had to smile when I saw in your title "easy tip".. how easy these things are is a quite individual thing.
just to add this to this topic: i once had problems with flying. after a few tries i got angry, looked up the sky and made a big movement with my arms - just as if i was swimming or trying to pull myself up. immediately i saw the stars come a little closer as i shot up into the air. when i looked down i found myself hundrets of meters over the city! from that height i had no problems flying around.
Yea height is an issue with flying for me. If I start on the ground I can only go about 20-30 feet up or so before I fall back down. I also noticed if I look down I go down, and if I keep my attention upward I can go up. I even tried flapping my arms once and it worked. It was more like a jellyfish swimming through the air really and I felt ridiculous, but it worked. And it was strange that my arms actually grew tired.
One time I kept looked up as I floated higher and higher and I saw a building in the sky that was sideways. There was a balcony and as soon as I grabbed it and climbed on, my whole perspective changed and 'gravity' was now the floor of the balcony which was sideways only a moment ago. I was able to walk inside like normal and up was up and down was down again.
I think it is my perspective of 'gravity' that is stopping me and always pulling me back down to the ground.

awesome! :D
i haven't played with gravity yet, that's something i really gotta try!
If I came to in a LD and im very very high, I can then fly, I guess as then my brain starts thinking Im out of gravity or something.
Me too. If I am at 'airplane' level it is very easy to fly.
Here's something to try and play with in a LD. Lay down and change your perspective of gravity. Think of 'Up' as now everything above your field of view from your perspective and 'Down' is below your feet. There should be a mental shift and gravity then becomes a force below you. Then walk on the walls. I almost did that once.
HAGART, yeah... that sounds AWESOME! totally adding this to my list!
but what do you mean by 'almost'? what happened?

This happened over a year ago, and was only a small part of a lucid dream, but I still remember. I was in a room similar to the house I live in. I layed on the floor (forget why), and I just got the funny feeling that the wall ahead of me (below my feet) was down, and the ceiling ahead was not up, but simply in front of me. So the ceiling was now 'forward' and the wall beneath my feet was now 'below'. If I had traveled to the ceiling it would have felt like I was moving horizontally. It's actually not that hard to imagine since a lucid dream is an illusion. There is no real up or down is there? No matter what orientation you are in, 'UP' can be whatever is above your head and 'Down' is whatever is below, no matter what the visual queues are telling you.
Imagine a fun house, where it is flipped on it's side and you walk in and there is furniture on the wall to the right, and a chandelier on the left that sticks out rigidly. It would be a fun optical illusion that gives you mixed messages as you walk on the floor that has a window on it as though it were a wall.
So I felt my perspective change, but that was about it. And I started to see it as that fun house analogy. I didn't actually travel through it after that. And I probably woke up.
Now that I brought it up, I should try it again. You just need to flip your perspective somehow. (I'll keep this on topic and say flying takes a perspective change too, in order to ignore 'gravity'; also an LD illusion)
I tried flying for the first time today, but i only got to levitate a few meters of the ground.

Great you are on the right track, in time learning from the website and its forums you should get higher and higher, and fly away. ´See you around. :)
Had a lucid dream this morning and after a DC challenged me to a sword fight with long sticks of cut wood, he flew off high into the sky with about 10 more sticks. I decided to chase after him, taking a few sticks with me, but was not able to get very high. Normally I can fly fairly easily, but this dream was getting very old at that point and I was struggling to keep it going. For me levitating is a little easier than flying.
For all what it is worth. I have no hassle flying planes, gliders or body flying, but it only happened twice that I had people body flying with me. A while ego I taught a few kids to fly with me, and last night I was flying at a show and onlookers ask me how I do it. I said: If you believe you can fly you can. Looking down I saw an other person was flying bellow me. Onlookers ask him how he does it. His answer: If you believe you can fly you can. This I also told the kids who were flying with me. :) Come into my dream and I will show you. :D
You're Peter Pan! :lol:
My tip for flying and something i learnt to help me in those dreams where my perception of gravity got the better of me is to imagine the sky coming to you. Or for instance, i'd look at the tops of some trees and rather then imagine flying up to the tops of the trees I would imagine the tops of the trees coming to me. This was quite a powerful course of learning for me and helped a lot. I also try to imply this for moving through things and have practiced it in LD's with varying success. So if i want to move through a wall, or a closed window that i can't open, i will imagine the wall or window passing through me rather then me passing through the wall or window. It's all about playing with the illusions...

erichsa, i also have had this frequently where i will 'teach' other people to fly. I think a lot of it is about me helping myself using my DC projections. I have also managed to carry one young man up into the clouds. That was a beautiful emotional lucid dream. But often i have struggled to carry people when i have tried as again, the illusion of their weight drags me back down!
Fly with FIFA :)
Looks like we have another spam-bot on the loose.... It'll probably be deleted soon, so others may have no idea what Erichsa was talking about.
Ahwell, let future readers scratch their heads! :P
Sadly, I am not a very good flyer. Usually when I try, I go up some, then fall back onto the ground again. But there have been some successes.
The earliest success I can remember was in a LD where I was at school. There was an angry mob chasing me and my friend, and we were trying to escape. That's when he taught me to fly. I flew up into the air and away from the school with my friend into a new realm, and the feeling of flying felt great. Eventually, we went back down into the new realm. Another success was either early this year or late last year. I was in a LD with another one of my friends, and there was another person I knew, and that person was trying to kill us. We couldn't get away. Then my friend told me to flap. Flap into the sky. I tried, but I couldn't. "Believe," he said. So I believed I could. And then I took my arms and flapped into the sky, looking back down at the person who was trying to kill us.
I guess the moral of the story is just to believe you can fly, believe you can touch the sky. Sorry, sorry, I had to. :lol: But anyway, next time I will try to truly believe. I guess I needed the advice from a friend.
Hi, I'm a freelance journalist looking to talk to anyone (preferably UK based) about their lucid dreams for an article I'm writing. I'm really interested to hear about your experiences and tips for LD, please get in touch if you'd be happy to talk - email me at
