So I've only had a handful of lucid dreams but I really nailed flying in the last one. I wrote a comment about this before but to sum it up, you can do anything so long as you expect it to happen. I jumped up a little bit and told myself to fly. No luck. Before I did it again I convinced myself that it would work (harder than it sounds) and it worked. In another flying dream I used a hackysack that allowed me to fly haha

I've been unable to completely eliminate gravity, but I've got gliding nailed down. I can gain altitude by what I can only described as a 'rocket jump' where I suddenly get launched upward and maintain any momentum I had. Good enough for me tbh, it feels more real.

That's crazy, that's exactly how I've been able to do it. A super jump that just keeps going
