There's no "start" to this dream. I actually gained "consciousness" halfway thru it, in a textbook lucid dreaming fashion. So, my first instinct is to glide around, rather than flying. I started floating around, freefaling slowly thru the dream's landscape. "This was not a clever idea", I said to myself as I cartwheeled around, with no control over my body. Just then, I hear a friend's voice, desperately shouting at me: "WAKE UP NOW, PLEASE DON'T DIE!" It ringed thru me three times until I awoke, paralyzed and pretty warped.
