Do you fall or fly in your dreams?

I used to fall but for the last few years I can fly. It’s a much better feeling. How about you?

I’ve been able to fly since I was around 12.

Did you fall at anytime?

One of my best dreams I remember growing up was jumping big spaces like from a cliff to another. I had that dream for a long time. I think it is common too. Maybe it was the dopamine overdose

I’ve always flown. I can describe how to do it. I fly so much in my dreams that I’ve had moments when I’m awake that I’m genuinely confused about whether I can fly or not. I have very strong muscle memory of the mechanics.

I like run as fast as I can then I dive if I’m concentrating I start flying. No one else in my dreams flys. I feel pretty special. Lol

Yes, falling nightmares were common for me before that point, when I was a young child.

I do the same…I’ve been slogging my way through crowds like “ugh I’ll just fly…” and then realize I can’t here.

@Anna @Rhubot I also have a little confusion some times when I wake if I’m able to fly.

It’s wierdly in-between. I can sort of ‘float’ but can’t go much higher than a tree. It gets harder the higher I go so it’s often easier to go around something than over it. I used to be confused that I could do it in real life but now I know it is only in lucid dreams.

I’ve always been a big-time flyer in dreams - in fact, I still fly in most dreams every night. I love it. When I was a kid though, I do remember having the occasional horrible dream where I would be falling, then wake up with a sudden thud.

Oh it’s horrible! The good thing is these days is that I’m often aware that I’m dreaming, so if I ever find myself in an uncomfortable situation, I can just start flying! :laughing:

I have been flying. Riding a motorcycle or an elevator that just goes up and up through the skyline. Made me terrified.

I was lacking control over my flights.

I don’t remember my dreams much. I flew in an upside down sombrero in high school once. There is also a They MIght Be Giants song “Hovering Sombrero.” It validated my dream.

I have only had a few dreams in my life, that I recall, where I could fly. They were pleasant dreams. I wish I could control my dreams. I would fly every night! and eat chocolate and travel the world and live in a palace and buy my kids presents and sing and dance and…

oh sorry. I got carried away.
