why can't I fly?

As I've read in many of the dreams posted here people are told to fly in lucid dreaming. So when I find myself in a lucid dream I try to do just that but the very realization that I'm dreaming then makes it hard if not impossible to fly. I can do any number of things in my dreams but flying is not one of them. And it's so weird cause in some cases I'm already flying and I realize, duh, I"m dreaming and I fall. It almost seems to hinder me. I can cast spells and make fire shoot from my hands but not fly. I am very interested in your thoughts on this as it has me stumped. Thanks for any insight you can give me

Re: why can't I fly?

rosebudsgypsy,
Perhaps flying as a metaphor is not something you are able to do in your waking life {applying the metaphor{s} as they have to do with your personal life}. Those things that you are able to control and do in your dreams may be those same things you are able to do in your wkaing life {again, applying the metaphorical references to the symbols}.

Re: why can't I fly?

if you want a tips on flying in your dream, this might work for you. as soon as u relieze that it is a dream and you start falling dont try to move yourself but try to move what ever is around you. wether it be the ground your falling to or the clouds passing by. something else the sense of falling releases chemicals in your brain that induce fear, basically the flight or fight response, which in most people they wake up. dont think of it as falling as much as sky diving and u got a parachute on ur back. imagining this, might be enough for you to relax and allow you to fly. each person is different

Re: why can't I fly?

Hmmm... well, I'm not sure why you can't fly. I think if you imagine the world to go poof and you were just floating in space then you would be flying in a way. Maybe, you should just try baby-steps, try floating or flying on a magic carpet. I think that would be pretty freaking sweet. I want a magic crapet. That would be awesome.
