    Lucid flying

    I am at a long dinner table eating with people from work. We are discussing new assessments. I express thinly veiled disdain at the idea of more testing. I am worried that they will think ill of me for holding such ideas. One colleague has a University of Northern Kentucky marching band costume on. A bottle of wine is produced.

    I step outside of my paternal grandparent's house. It is night. I walk down the driveway into the street. Everything is dim and shadowy. I recall my previous dream and realize that I am now dreaming. Lucid, I break into a run and leap into the sky. I remember mid jump that I should RC and stabilize the dream. I try to get my hands together. I am tumbling through space. I can't control my hands. I bring them up to my face and frantically try to rub them together. No dice. I wake up.

    WBTB (5 min) + MILD produced this. Second in as many nights.

    I have no aspirations to fly. I have no idea why this occurred. It was almost instinctual.

      Wow! This is so fascinating!

      While you have no aspirations to fly, this is a huge goal for me. It's interesting to see that some people just naturally have flying dreams, and others have to visualize and work towards it. I'm still learning a lot about LD myself, and learned about the rubbing your hands together stabilizing technique from this entry and did some more research online. Thanks for sharing your dream!

      Thanks for the comment! Its strange, but flying is like an instinctual reaction to lucidity. I have noticed this in my past 2 lucids. I had not conscious, manifest desire to fly, I just did it. I have had other lucids where I did things that I had no manifest intent to do. Perhaps this is a lower grade of lucidity. I know clearly and directly that I am dreaming, but I have less than full control of my actions.

      I am a newbie too. This is an inspiring project!
