Flying for Beginners

                     :cloud9:  Think of it. In a world where you can do anything(Dream-World) what do you do? The answer I hear a most commonly is… Flying! Why do humans have the desire to lift-off and join the clouds? Do we want it because we can’t do it in real life? Is it a way to escape troubles? Do we want the thrill and amazement. Either way, flying is one of the most rewarding Lucid experiences. It’s just plain fun. 
                                 If you’re new to the Lucid world, flying may be hard for you.But flying involves little to no skill. But if you're still having trouble, don’t fret my fellow dreamers! I’m here to help you. Read on and you’ll find out how to soar above everyone and everything with ease.

(note: There is a section under each method that says SURVEY SAYS. This is what other dreamers have said about the method and are not true facts.)

  1. The first step is to become Lucid. Don’t know how ? Why are you here :shrug: ? Turn back and read in the Knowledge Base.

1.5(optional) Now once you are lucid, you must be as lucid as possible. Understand fully that you’re dreaming and that your real body is peacefully sleeping in your bed. Explore your senses. Look around slowly at your surroundings, thinking, “I’m dreaming. Wow. I’m dreaming. Awesome! :happy: ” . You can also increase your lucidity by commanding your dream to do so. Say, “Increase Lucidity! Increase Clearness! Increase senses!” or “Lucidity times 1000!”

2.Now, time to fly :bounce: ! Pick a method of flight that best suits you. Strap on your flight gear because we’re ready to go!

Superman Style: There’s been a robbery at the national bank. What do you do? Jump into the air and put your arms out in front of you! This is Superman Style! Feel the power and go stop those crooks! Or just mind your own business and explore the skies.

Wings: :fly: Summon wings to appear or grow on your back. Start flapping!

Morph :bat: : Transform into a flying animal and take to the skies. Examples: birds, bats, dragons, eagles,ect…
