LOL Mattis, you needs some jet boots, thats what you need xD
I think i had my first WILD. I woke up from a dream around 11:00 and quickly fell asleep and morphed into back into the dream and was very lucid the first second!
Anyway, I experimented with flying. Levitating right above the ground was rather easy to control. I could rise and land any time i wanted. The only problem was that when i got some speed it took some time to stop. I simply decided i wanted to levitate and did a small jump of the ground and imagined levitating.
Flying was harder. I have manged to fly rather good in dreams before but this time i could only jump high and slowly fall back to the ground. My technique was to do like if i were swimming.
I also remembered what i told myself i wanted to do in a LD, I have always had problems with that before. I decided yesterday while reading EWLD that i decided i wanted to talk to dream characters. So i went around and say stuff like “Hey this is a dream we can do anything we want”, it was a bit hard to understand their answer but most seemed to be like “nah i don’t really believe you”. I also remembered that i said to myself a week ago that i wanted to try flying, which is what i did and explained in the first part of this post 
It was a very long LD as well. Hard it give it a time but it felt like 15-30 min.
A very successful night!
I’ve only flown thrice in LDs that I know of. The first two times were with the help of objects - the first time was a robotic turtle with a built-in jetpack, the second time around was a spinning trashcan lid. (But it was sort of hard to travel anywhere with that stupid trashcan lid, it’d only go up or down. It did move a bit to the left with a little wind, but it didn’t go anywhere.after that.)
The third time was the best. A bunch of ethereal fairies taught me how to fly. All I had to do was jump off a waterfall and glide into the air, sort of Peter Pan-ish. I wasn’t even afraid that I’d fall into the water below, since I had learned underwater breathing prior. Awesome dream, that was.
Swimming in the air worked fine tonight 
The best method for me has always been growing wings, I usually grow my wings while I’m on the ground, super jump into the air and then just glide, I have great control, I feel like I’ve always had wings and I just know how to use them, when I want to turn I just bank left or right. When I want to go faster I just put my arms and wings back a bit and dive slightly, then catch the wind with my newly acquired speed. and stopping is really easy, you just use them like airbrakes. It’s real fun too, feeling the wind on your wings is an awesome experience.
I’ve used other methods, like just taking off and flying, but I find that my control is never as good.
Two nights ago I flew for the first time and I used the thermal of an approaching thunderstorm to glide like an eagle. The up lift of the thermal felt like I was sucked into the air. It wasn’t a LD, because it felt so real that I actually believed I could fly on the edge of a huge thunderstorm (just like a tornado can suck stuff in the air) 
When I fly in a lucid dream I just fly like in the anime DragonBall .
just had my best lucid dream yet wanted to fly…so i flew a bunch of diff ways(sitting indian style superman, neo style just like i was to if i was surfing)…flying is easy for me…just believe
Welcome studentofthemind! 
Why don’t you introduce yourself over at the introductions topic?
Also, you said it, believing is the first thing ^^ but as a quick note of aid, if you can see ourself doing it in a daydream, you can do it the same way in dreams 
for imagination is of the same matter as dreams are.
I guess it’s not normal, but my default mode of moving in my LDs is floating. Seems as soon as I get lucid, I get turned into a spectre, and yes, I can sometimes float right through doors blocking my way. I can also glide, in fact in many of my LDs my first impulse is to jump out of my window so I can survey the city and find where to go next.
Heh, another window jumper, eh?
Last year, or the year before - can’t remember - I used to have a lot of dreams where I’d jump out of a window in a dream. It became such a theme that on a few occasions I actually managed to become lucid that way.
As a kid i had many dreams about flying, and to be frank it’s one of mine primary task in LD… But about few years back i had LD where i start flying after i was falling of a cliff, and there was a moment of clarity, it has to be a dream… And then i had no idea what is lucid dreaming, but it’s when I started to be curious about LD. It was a beautiful place, i would say a place that you can only imagine… I don’t remember anything special about stile of flying, only that I was flying around this valley feeling happy, and it’s a dream that i just can’t forget! Hope to have much more dreams where I’m flying!
Your post shows something that I think is very important : if you don’t think/know you need a “style” of flying, then you don’t need one, you can “just do it”. This is probably true for everyone, as dreams are influenced by our expectations.
I’ve done these in my dreams so far (Normal and Lucid):
-Swimming (it’s quite easy but slow)
-Falling and gliding (My favorite style so far)
-Fly using my own mind to control the way of flying
-Superman style (my other favorite way of flying. I can go with super speed to everywhere)
I really want to try out the following methods:
-Fly within a transparent object (in a bubble maybe)
-Fly with car, spaceship or bicycle (;p) etc.
-Hover (this isn’t really flying but sounds interesting )
-Fly with my own wings
-Fly with animals (dragons, birds, fictional beings…)
-etc… (I don’t have any ideas for now) 
I worked out the strangest way of flying last time. I tried swimming method but I couldn’t get any altitude for some reason, just hovered a bit above the ground. What I ultimately did, was jump, then jump again in the air, “double jumping” like some video game character to fly around. It wasn’t very effective.
Same! i just kinda levitata and just start flying around like they do on DBZ 
I didn’t think that flying would be so hard for anyone else O_O
thanks for the tips! this is one thing that i’m looking forward to most in LD
Have you ever tried asking a DC to help you?
I just asked something like “I’m sorry, can you make me fly up to outer space?”. I got really high, but a FA happened.
On my only one lucid dream, a levitated when i thought about levitating, we can move that way too right?
And if u just couldn’t fly, like i couldn’t…
Well…
I was in a building, there was a huge window and i realised the building was as tall as a skyscraper, i charged towards the window and jumped off, and i kinda glided up and forced myself to fly, it worked, i was going through clouds when an aeroplane was flying in front of me, I panicked and lost concentration, then i fell from there and there was a smashing sound then red, then total blackness…
Then I woke into another dream, before it could start I woke up late for school -_-
My advise is,
While trying this method of flying, beware of aeroplanes 
I usally can’t fly very well but thnx I will test these out
