Flying- 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.
