I don’t know if anyone has brought this up yet but I thought it might be interesting to discuss. Recently just last night in fact. I found that I can run MUCH faster on “all fours” pushing off into a horizontal leap and coming down on my hands wich go between my legs then I push off again. I told my friend about this and he said hes had the same thing happen with him on occasion. I thought it could possibly be chalked up as your “primal” being manifesting itself but Id like to hear everyone elses thoughts on this.
No idea, why it can happen, but I have run this way in two or three NDs. I thought I was crazy. Glad to hear I am not the only atavistic monster here. 
I love running on all fours! It feels so satisfying, like I am using my entire body for running. I can do huge leaps like that, too. I have never actually shapeshifted into anything other than a falcon and a plant, though.
I’m not sure if it’s faster, but it feels better somehow.
I once walked on all fours when I tried to transform into a cat (or a wolf, I’m not sure anymore) in a ND. When I noticed it was easier than walking on just two legs, I thought that I had succeeded. But my legs had just twisted in a wierd way.
It depends for me, sometimes I run like that but it isn’t so fast, it is like i’m doing it in slowmotion.
i’ve done it in human form but also as a horse and i believe as a dog. Interesting topic, I don’t know others did it as well 
When I read the first post, I thought he meant in real life 
You shapeshifted into a plant? 
hehe, that just seems wierd to me. Not sure why 
I can’t wait to have my first lucid dream. What I want to do more than anything is shapeshift into a wolf and explore the forests and fields of my dreamscape in that form.
It’ll probably be a long time before I get enough control to do that however… 
I remember one of the times I transformed myself into a wolf. It was pretty cool to see grey fur grow out on my arms.
Canines and Lupines are by far my favorite animals. I’d rather spend time with my shepherd than with most people 
I love wolves, but haven’t had much contact with them outside of media. I would love to be able to transform into one in my dreams… One day…
