Dreams of flying can make you feel happy and free or scared and out of control. This is why it is important to understand situations that are going on in your life that may be affecting your mental state and emotions.
Your subconscious mind is trying to reach you on a deeper level to reveal certain things and traits that you may be avoiding or unaware of. Here are 17 meanings of dreams about flying!
1. A Symbol Of Spirituality
If your dream about flying is a lucid dream, which means you can have control of the dream, this is likely a symbol of your spirituality. You are becoming enlightened and have a new sense of self that you didn’t have before.
Alternatively, this sign could be a sign of a spiritual journey you are about to embark on to deepen your spirituality and renew your soul.
2. You Have Anxiety
Sometimes, dreaming about flying could be directly related to our anxiety. This is likely the case if you were scared when you were flying. Such dreams typically include flying on a plane and feeling panicked.
You may also dream of a plane crash and have a sense of doom. You are probably having worries about a situation in real life and feel like it is out of your control.
It’s important not to worry if you have this dream, as it is not an indication that something bad is going to happen. It is simply bringing your emotions to the surface so you can deal with them and move on.
3. Overcoming Obstacles
If you dream of flying next to butterflies, this could mean you are about to go through some obstacles. These obstacles will be very hard, and you may feel like you can’t overcome them.
Rest assured, this dream is a sign that you will overcome these obstacles and come out of them, and transform into a stronger person.
4. Sense Of Freedom
If you dream about flying over the moon or planets in space, this can be a symbolic dream of personal freedom. You no longer feel held back by something or something that was weighing you down before, similar to how gravity holds us down.
This dream can also mean you feel like you need to escape. Maybe you feel like you are trapped in your work life or a relationship.
This could even be the town you live in. If this is the case, this dream is a sign to cater to your own needs and escape the situation, making you feel like a prisoner.
5. New Love
If you dream that you are souring through the air next to someone, this could indicate a spiritual connection is about to form with someone. This is likely a new romantic relationship with someone you already know or even someone you are about to cross paths with.
This dream symbolizes the out-of-body experience you feel when you deeply connect with someone on a spiritual level.
6. New Opportunities
If you have a dream about flying, it could mean that you are about to stumble across new opportunities that will change your life for the better.
You may meet someone that will introduce you to something new that will lead to your success, or it could be a job change in an unlikely field.
It is important to go with the flow and recognize these opportunities as they are knocking, as these could be the key to your future.
7. A Good Sign
Dreams about flying can also be a sign of good things to come. If you have been feeling like a failure and that nothing is going the way it should, this is the time that you will break free and finally experience prosperity and success.
This could also be a sign of good luck in your future endeavors, such as a new business or even trying for a family.
8. A Sign Of Purity
If you dream that you are flying with doves, or you are a dove flying, this directly symbolizes purity in your life. You have a pure soul and a kind spirit amongst people who may be deceitful and manipulative.
You need to stay true to yourself and your morals and not allow yourself to be tainted by the negativity and evil lurking around you.
9. You Have High Intuition
If you feel like you are hovering over everyone close to the ground, this means you are highly intuitive.
You feel the energy of others, and you sense things most people don’t sense. This dream should not give you a big ego or make you feel better than anyone else, but let it encourage you to continue your spiritual gift of intuition so you may use it to help the people around you.
10. You Will Face New Challenges
Having a dream that you are flying in an unknown place could be a sign that you will face new challenges in the near future. These are likely good challenges that will motivate you to excel and propel you forward in your career.
Alternatively, you could face an unexpected challenge in your relationship that will test each other’s boundaries.
11. A Change In Perspective
If you dream that you are flying with dragonflies, this could signify you need to find a new perspective on a situation you are stuck in.
Maybe you have tunnel vision and can only see one way. This dream means you need to find another way of looking at the problem or situation so you can come to a conclusion.
It could also mean that you are not able to see something from another person’s point of view because you are stuck in your ways. If this is the case, it’s time to learn to put yourself in their shoes so you can see things the way they see them.
12. A Sign Of Wisdom
Contrary to what is often thought about crows, they are known to be a symbol of wisdom. If you dream that you are a crow, this is signaling that you are very wise, even if you may not know it yet.
You will likely need to use this wisdom in the coming days when approached with a tough situation. A friend or colleague may come to you for help and will depend on you for the answers.
13. You Have Self-Confidence
Dreaming of flying over skyscrapers likely symbolizes confidence in yourself. You are not afraid to take risks, and you push yourself regularly to be the best version of yourself you can be.
However, if you are looking down at people in this dream and they look small, it could indicate your ego is getting too big.
Remember to stay humble and recognize that the people around you are just as important as you are.
14. You Will Learn A New Skill
If you dream that you are learning to fly, this could mean you are about to learn a new skill or pick up a new hobby. Flying is known to symbolize creativity and art, so it’s likely these new skills or hobbies will be creating things such as paintings or music.
15. You Have Big Goals
If you dream that you are flying with eagles, this symbolizes your goals. You are likely a dreamer and have big goals that you want to accomplish.
However, you may be struggling to find the courage to go after them. This dream is a sign you need to be brave if you want to fly to new heights in your life and achieve everything you set out to achieve.
16. You Crave Adventures
If you dream of a hot air balloon flying or flying inside of a hot air balloon, this means that you are craving adventure. It may be that you desire to travel, but you don’t make time for it or don’t have the funds.
You need to find a way to create adventure in your life so you can thrive. We all have certain things that feed our souls and add to our quality of life, and without them, we almost always fail to thrive.
17. Taking Control
If you dream that you are flying over water, this means you are starting to take control of your emotions. Water symbolizes peace and tranquility, which you may not have been able to experience lately with your emotions not under control.
Maybe you are going through changes in your life that you don’t know how to deal with. This dream is a sign that you are finally finding a way to align yourself so you can be balanced and centered.
