I'd like to experience your experience.

Thanks, Paul

Are you asking if we've ever been in a plane before?

Meditate........Feel the wisdom of Paul

That's what I was wondering.^

Slenderman was wondering:
Meditate, feel the wisdom of Paul.

I piloted a REAL plane before.

It was fuin

I'll get my dad to answer this question.

Have you been in a flying craft?
Have you felt you could fly?

I've piloted a Commander 112 in classes I used to take. The feeling you get when you have the controls, it's absolutely breathtaking. Minutes literally fly when you're in the sky.

As for feeling flight as a person, I'm actually trying to do this in the lucid dreaming regimen that Slenderman introduced to me. I'm yet to get any results; my dreams collapse within seconds after finding out I'm lucid.

Oh well.

Not getting any results? You're literally halfway there at this point.

Take however long it's taken you to get to this point. That's about how much longer you have to go. At least that's how it worked for me.

Chin up. Eyes on the prize.

Ah, if I'm following correctly, you are trying to experience being in a dream while knowing you are in it. This does take work! I did a lot of dream experiments when I was growing up, not so much these days, as I am sleep deprived and just want to book the REM time. Anyway, if you keep waking up as you realize you're in it, stop the realization, or actually it feels more like "slow down" your realization. Make it less conscious of a thought, more like "...ahh ok I seeee..." rather than "oh gee I'm in a dream wow!" It's like walking on the edge of a road and seeing the grass on the side but not stepping on it. If you can keep this semi-state more and more, you'll be working a skill that allows you (eventually) to have a fairly conscious "wow here I am" thought without waking up. But it takes some practice.

Is that what you're talking about?

As for flight, I have my private pilot's license (VFR only), but I haven't flown in years. I prefer the remote controlled kind, where pushing the limits beyond one's skills does not result in injury or death I've also flown many simulators, as my undergrad and first-attempt grad studies were in flight dynamics and sim.

I remember one flight along the bit of coast in eastern New Hampshire / southern Maine, clear blue sky, visibility to a sharp horizon, just me, the sun, and a droning engine beyond my headphones. Absolute heaven.

Could you PM me about the lucid dreaming, Slender?

Paul, I have flown and flown in many different aircraft.

I've been a passenger a dozen or so times. Never flown myself, though. Lessons are expensive.

I have never flown on a commercial flight, but i have been around aviation since I was born. I've flown and/or flown in (cessna 150, 152, 172, 182, 185, 206, 210, 310, 421, citation500, citation2) (King Air 90, 200) (piper cherokee180, warrior, tomahawk, archer, apache) (belanca Decathlon) (vans rv6) (Lancair legacy) (mooney m20) (taylorcraft l2) (North american t6 texan) (Grumman tiger) a couple of helicopters, and probably a few more planes that I can't think of at the moment.

I've been skydiving before.

I have been inside a Fokker 50 that was owned by UPS.Closest to flying was a ride on the Skywheel.It felt amazing.Felt like a plane because i hadthe AC pointed at me though.

Sorry sput, but I call BS. I've been around skydiving my whole life as well and I know some crazy tandem instructors. They don't take 13 year olds jumping.

Lol

I've flown a hull at 21 knots in a 30 ft multihull , I was sailing solo so it really was a bit like flying twenty feet off the water at 40mph in an open cockpit plane noisy too ! Thing hums like a gospel choir when it gets speed up.
