Seems that the urge to fly in dreams is part of the collective consciousness of the human race or something. I love flying dreams, they’re the best.

When you try to fly and you fail, there's a thought going thru your mind that says, "I can't do it," and you try to hard. The thing is you're not supposed to "try" to fly, you're supposed to just "fly" no questions asked. Until u stop "trying" and just "do" it then your mind set will inhibit it from happening. I know this is true, b/c I never have problems with flying in my lucid dreams now. Here's some techniques I have used throughout my life to fly with: 1.) Holding my jacket around my arms like a cape and running full speed, and jumping and flapping my arms while the jacket acts like my wings. 2.) Running full speed, and jumping, like mario brothers, and taking off into the sky. 3.) Pretending to hold a video game controller and pushing buttons that will make me fly. (This worked with any video game that includes characters that fly.) 4.) Using my mind power to levitate a couple feet into the air, and then, flying around using a swimming motion, or the power of my mind. 5.) Imagine myself getting lighter and lighter, until gravity has no effect on me. Using my eyes as a camera angle in which I can make the earth below me seem farther and farther away, until I have a view from the clouds. 6.) Imagine an imaginary angel, pixie, fairy, or whatever else you can think of that flies, as holding you and carrying u into the sky. These are just a few that I used, but it doesn't really matter what technique u use, techniques to me are just bullshit. What really matters is that you must believe you can do it, and when it happens, not get too excited.
