A change in perspective is sometimes all that is needed to clarify the action that is required.
The following selection from Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game makes this point. This is a description of Ender’s first experience with motion in the weightless battleroom.
For a sickening moment he tried to retain his old up-and-down orientation, his body attempting to right itself, searching for the gravity that wasn’t there. Then he forced himself to change his view. He was hurtling toward a wall. That was down. And at once he had control of himself. He wasn’t flying, he was falling. This was a dive. He could choose how he would hit the surface.”
