Flying

To be successful in taking flight you must first journey your mind into to all of the major muscle zones and then systematically and consciously relax them right down, as if one by one they are all that is of you, it's a kind of meditation of the muscles. Loosen them off without movement until they feel so light, it's almost as if they are no longer there. This takes the upmost concentration to begin with, but can be turned on and off quickly with practice. Do this right, and the body will feel tingley, a little tickleish, almost getting to the point whereby you will want to wriggle in order to avert hysterics. The feeling could almost be described as a fraction orgasmic, like the rush in the back of your head when a stranger or little known associate is unexpectedly attentive and kind to you. The art of flying, is about as easy to to describe as it is to master. Once concentrated enough upon relaxing almost to the point of pleaseant pain, as the mind moves from zone to zone, come out of yourself very gently, whilst maintaining the pulse of relaxation throughout the body with your mind. Have a look around, if you're up, you're off, it's not a superman thing, it's more of a gradual weightlessness, or floating thing. Concentration must be maintained at all times, otherwise you will find yourself sinking back down, or if already at great height, possibly even plumetting. Flight is difficult under fear, which is almost entirely when I end up using it. The fear will often persue on foot from below, although very occassionally swoops down from above. Let the fear in, and you will sink into a matress and pillow, let it go, and it falls further behind and is gone, making for much easier flying. The fun really starts in making jumps from collosal heights, such as off bridges, cliffs and mountain tops, over gorges, rivers or sea. You may or may not find base jumping at bedtime quite so easy as lift off from the ground, although I personally find it easier. It takes courage to leap from an unholly height, even if you know you are dreaming, although the longer the fall, the longer there is to relax, gather your glide and become a feather. It is important to remember that the dream is the wave upon which you are surfing, lose the dream and there is nothing. The dream can be overwhelming, you can forget that it is only a dream and the fright can either wake you or deter you. My advice, take a leap of faith. And by the way, you don't die when you hit the ground in a dream, I've tried. Flight is never guaranteed, but a safe landing is. The last instruction, above all else, you must wake in your dream without waking from your sleep, you must be aware that you are dreaming and maintain this.
