I love FLYING!

[EllyEve]

I posted this on rugbyelite13’s thread on lucid dreaming “muscles”:

To fly, I relax into a kind of static electricity field. It’s not a muscle for me, so much as a sense of where the ley-lines are. This means I still depend a lot on how the wind blows in the dream to fly. When I’m doing a breaststroke in the air and I want to get higher without taking my eyes off the scene below, though, I can feel my mind sort of pulling me up at the back of my dream-head and I start rising.
It’s like wiggling my ears in waking life, except if the muscles were all the way back.

It’s kind of like this gift card I saw once that said, “Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly”

But, I recently found a way to fly much faster. I used to have quite a bit of trouble figuring out how to fly fast. So I just turned myself into someone who usually flies fast (Serafina Pekkala, from His Dark Materials.) Instead of trying to adopt a technique, I just take on the form of a character who can do it well.

I used to think that… that, or turning into a bird, or creating a magic carpet, broomstick, or jet pack to fly with was frivolous-- but, actually, they make for a very powerful suggestion!
