BH4's Guide To Night Flying
In this short ten minute exercise, I will run by the basics of Night Flight. Follow closely now. If you have any questions, I'll take them at the end. Kindly step out of the car and walk out onto the field. Don't step near the cliff just yet. That comes later.
1) Hold the potion firmly in your hand. It's small, and drops easily. Quaff exactly half of the bottle. You'll need the other half for when the effects begin to wane. Store the potion in an inside pocket with the cork screwed on tightly You don't want any chance of it escaping. The effects should be evident almost immediately, as you will begin to feel mildly light headed. This is normal. Flying is much more difficult without that feeling.
2) You will need the power word to help attain liftoff. The power word focuses your attention on the act of lifting off itself, as you say it. Your power word can be anything that you wish, so long as all of your attention is diverted onto that one word.
3) After saying the power word as gently as possible, but with 100% of your focus and attention, imagine yourself lifting off slowly, one part of the body at a time, but all within the span of one to two seconds. First your shoulders rise, then your midsection, then your legs will bend slightly, then your feet will lift off from the ground, and you will be nearly weightless. Congratulations, you have achieved liftoff! You are now ready to fly!
4) You should find yourself hovering in the air. Remember to maintain your focus on flight. Do not lose too much concentration, or you will find yourself falling fast. With the feelings of lightheadedness under your control, imagine yourself repositioning yourself slightly higher in the air, and continue to physically focus additionally on that space above you. You should rise without feeling it much. This is good. Continue to focus on the airspace around you, and strive to occupy that space. This is how you learn to fly. Take some time to rove around space, bending your body wherever possible to accommodate for the air flow. Just because the potion has granted you wingless flight does not mean that you are not able to be subjected to air currents and the wind.
5) Landing is much simpler a process than taking off. You must simply fall to the ground from a few inches above it, losing concentration on flight that you had previously held tightly. Bending your legs upon impact will smoothen the process.
Congratulations on your first flight!

Lately, I've been having so many of these dreams. Roughly 3/4 of my dreams consist of me defying some law of physics in some way. I don't know what's causing it. Granted, I really don't want them to stop, but my dreams are usually filled with things other than flight. I wonder what could be causing it.
How often do you dream of flying? Are you usually in control of them? Do you usually "use" the flight to visit somewhere or someone? Or are you just randomly flying over a given location?
