I think flying is an accurate metaphor I feel the comfort of seeing a universe where any and all things are possible of me

Same as others' views, it is simply a dream you control.
The feeling of the dream is like any other except there is a point when something happens that you make this concious thought that it is a dream and you can do what you want.
For instance, one type of dream scenario I have over and over is when I make a mistake or do something wrong. All this stuff happens after the event and I kind of stop listening and decide I wasn't satisfied with the outcome. I'll think to myself "hey, remember that this is not real" and then concentrate and I do it over again. All of a sudden, the scenario resets and I am able redo it with a different series of events.
Other times, you find yourself in a situation you know HAS to be a dream. For me, it was talking with my grandfather who passed away many years ago. About 1 minute into seeing him, I was like "wait a second, grandfather is dead." After that, I just was able to enjoy the moment regardless of it being a dream.
I personally have never experienced flying but a lot of it is like the thinking in the Matrix I suppose. You have to get to a point where you identify it is a dream despite the appearance of reality. At that point, you can do what you want but you still need ot overcome your preconceived perceptions of the physical reality. ie - you see a car on a boy and wish you could lift it off him. Even if you realize it is a dream, you will still need to overcome the thought of lifting 3,000 pounds with your bare hands...
The best way I have found (as well as other people I have read about) to do all this is to keep a journal near you bed and write in it about your dreams when you wake up and before you forget them. You end up recording subconcious thought in the concious mind by doing so thus allowing your brain to identify dream states as dream states instead of reality.
All in all it is quite cool. Doesn't happen daily but cool nonetheless.
I'll see if I can find links later.

Flying in dreams is more like gliding. You really cannot just start gliding in a dream. It either happens or it don't. I once glided to the ground and could not take-off again then woke up in my frustration. The structures below are dark. I have also had funny dreams and woke up laughing. Once I remembered the funny incident and it was too dumb to repeat and not even funny in waking life. Once I dreamed of a tune I had never heard before but I don't read or write music or have any intrest in music. But; it was nice to wake up to. I've also had dreams that are so lucid that I've questioned myself in the dream and decided that what was happening was real. The results of this decision was not always ???

I have done this several times. It feels like a regular dream only you have control of your actions. It's kind of like a video game, I guess. I have never seen myself from outside the dream. That would be more of an out-of-body experience then lucid dreaming. I have never experienced an out-of-body experience so couldn't tell you what the major differences would feel like.

It just feels like a dream you can control. Every time I have experienced this it woke me up because I realized I was dreaming.
