Flying with the Birds

Consciousness Exploration Journal

I was driving along a road. I noticed some birds flying in the opposite direction. I decided to change my direction and fly with them. I became lucid after doing this. I had perfect control of my flying (unlike other instances). I soared with the birds for a bit, but then decided to speed up. I flew up and over a mesa. Far off in the distance, I could see a mountain range. I focused on one of the peaks and set my intent to fly there. I began shooting across the sky toward the peak at a very fast rate. At the same time, it appeared as though the mountains themselves were moving toward me. I felt like I had conquered that task and so stopped. I could not remember what test I had planned to carry out, so I decided to look at my hands in the meantime. They had the same appearance as my “physical” waking hands. Focusing on them seemed to cause me to begin fading out of the dream. Slowly, I felt myself sinking into a darkness until I eventually found myself back in my sleeping body.
