Extreme feeling of G force in dreams

Gravity is one of the most interesting phenomenons Dreamsoap and I encounter both in dreams and projection. I do a lot more analysis than her, but what I've noticed is that the feeling fluctuates quite a lot depending on how much energy I have at the time. I don't think the actual strength changes though, just how strong it feels. This is especially noticable with "combative flying" which is flying with a lot of precision. The ability to start and stop on a dime. Twisting into all sorts of positions in midair while moving, often in directions other than what you're facing. Lots of sharp bursts of speed and stopping, etc. You get pretty used to the feeling of all the momentum shifts. I would argue that in order to do proper combative flight you need to be used to it enough to not get woken up by those sharp changes. You also need to be able to fly while lucid because without that conscious control learning such precision is probably impossible.

My advice to Pollux if he wants to control those hulk jumps of his is to start with the recognition that, since he knows that he's done it in dreams at all, it means he can do it in dreams. And since lucid dreams are dreams, he can do it in a lucid dream too. Just remind yourself of that if you can and see if you can twist your mind into at least trying instead of freaking out that "oh my god I can't do this in real life" or whatever the issue is.  Not instantly or necessarily on the first try, but repeatedly reminding yourself that, logically, it is a thing you can do will eventually overcome whatever mental block you've got and allow you to at least start trying, after that it's all practice and technique. Just my two cents, I can at least say it worked for me, maybe it will work for someone else too, who knows?

The more energy I have at the time the more of an intertial dampening effect there seems to be. Although to be fair some if not most of that effect is consciously allocated from the pool of energy I have at the time. Best as I can figure from the feeling it seems that it works by creating a thick layer of dense energy inside of the body, submerging everything inside of it, as skin tight as possible. Changes in momentum get dissipated through this layer so that the part that hits your body directly has been so spread out that you practically don't feel it. Like one of those giant air bags people get shot out of cannons into, except compressed down to the size of your body. Because of this it's normal for me to be able to do  things like drop down off of buildings and land safely because normally I have more than enough energy to absorb the impact. But if I'm very low on energy the feeling of gravity gets much stronger as does the feeling of any shift or impact. Until eventually there's no real protection at all. Although If I'm so low I get no protection I'm usually too low to fly in the first place anyways.

We've both tried flying in real life as well without success and the main thing both of us agree on is how weirdly strong gravity feels, it's like the feeling gets enhanced when we try to fly. But sometimes I've noticed the same buoyancy feeling from dreams, it's just far too weak to get me off the ground or have much of any effect at all. The closest thing we've found the the feeling of flying is roller coasters but they're pretty lame buy comparison since their motion is very smooth and linear compared to what we're used to.

But hopefully one day that will change...

This is an old thread but I just recalled something which may be of interest. Probably I already described this somewhere else. Every so often I have dreams of walking without my feet touching the ground. Quite often, but not always, there are other people around, it seems like a normal situation like a street where people are walking, or a corridor inside a building. Usually I'm torn between really enjoying the process of hover-flying (not quite hulk jumps as once my feet leave the ground after the first step, I remain airborne, but just a few inches above the ground) and at the same time hoping no-one else will notice as they are all plodding along, feet firmly planted on the ground.

In one case I was on the upper floor of a public building like an office or a school, heading for the stairs leading down to the exit. I take a step from the top of the stairs and expect to land two or three steps down, but somehow I glide. Halfway down the stairs is a turn for the second flight of steps. I float around the turn, and down the next set of stairs, turn again to reach the doorway, float outside, and continue down the street. I'm expecting to land at any moment, it just feels like an unusually large stride - though no normal stride could navigate all those turns and changes in direction without ever touching the ground. All around are ordinary people and I'm starting to feel surely someone watching will notice I'm doing something weird, but so far no-one ever has.

What's strange about this is that though it's a dream it feels so much like ordinary waking life that I really expect this to happen when I leave my house and walk outside, but so far, it hasn't.

The other aspect to this that it feels a bit of an effort of concentration, a bit like a beginner at ice skating or riding a bike, where some conscious attention is needed, before it just becomes second-nature.
