Flying Dream by Joseph Kemeny

This was my first flying lucid dream I experienced a couple of years ago. I became lucid while dreaming I was in my house. I was very excited and decided to go outside and attempt to fly like I had been reading about in several lucid dream books. I passed through a window without a scratch as if I were a ghost.

Outside it was warm, green and summer-like even though this experience happened in January (it always seems to be summer in lucid dreams!) I then stretched my arms out and jumped into the air.

At first I only went off the ground a few feet and then floated back to the ground like a feather. It's hard to completely remove gravity from our unconscious. After a few more attempts I gained confidence and was soon soaring above the green trees of my neighborhood. Words cannot express the joy of this experience.

Eventually I became entangled in some power lines and had to struggle to become free. The dream ended and I found myself back in bed but I had a natural high for the rest of the day!
