Dreams
about flying usually represent freedom from
the physical body, as we experience in sleep
& while dreaming where we don't use
our physical bodies but instead use our
mental & spiritual bodies to experience
our dreams. It's one of the first things
people attempt to do when they gain control
of their dreams and start lucid dreaming.
Everybody seems to have a natural inclination
to want to fly, unless that is changed by
a fear of flying due to a frightening incident
in their waking lives. Flying = freedom;
either a desire for freedom, an "escape"
from restraints in your physical life (like
a mini-vacation for the mind) or any number
of possibilities. <> Tie it in with the
context of your dream...what were you doing
in your dream besides flying? How did it
make you feel? Also, the type of flying
here is the person flying on their own without
an airplane or any aircraft at all. That
would be a different symbol dealing with
spiritual awareness, among other things.
Flying dreams fall under a category of dreams
where you become aware that you are dreaming,
known as lucid dreaming. Many dreamers have
described the ability to fly in their dreams
as an exhilarating, joyful, and liberating
experience.
If you are flying with ease and enjoying
the scene and landscape below, then it suggests
that you are on top of a situation. You
have risen above something. It may also
mean that you have gained a different perspective
on things. Flying dreams and the ability
to control your flight is representative
of your own personal sense of power.
Having difficulties staying in flight indicates
a lack of power in controlling your own
circumstances. You may be struggling to
stay aloft and stay on course. Things like
power lines, trees, or mountains may further
obstruct your flight. These barriers represent
a particular obstacle or person who is standing
in your way in your waking life. You need
to identify who or what is hindering you
from moving forward.
If you are feeling fear when you are flying
or that you feel that you are flying too
high then it suggests that you are afraid
of challenges and of success.
In reality, we do not have the ability to
fly. Thus such dreams may represent that
which is beyond our physical limitations.
In your mind, you can be anybody and do
anything. Another way of interpreting flying
dreams is that these dreams symbolize your
strong mind and will. You feel undefeatable
and nobody can tell you what you cannot
do and accomplish. Undoubtedly these dreams
leave you a great sense of freedom.
