Understanding and Interpreting
Dreams:
Dreams of Flying
Dreams of flying may well be the most common of all
dreams. Dreams of flying often fall into that special
category of dreams in which the dreamer realizes he or she is dreaming. These dreams, called lucid
dreams, are some of the most fascinating to both dreamers and dream
researchers alike.
Dreams of flying are often
described as joyful, fun and exhilarating, and flying dreams are often
among the most pleasant dream experiences.
Dreams where you are flying
easily, soaring over the landscape and enjoying the serenity often mean
that you feel on top of the situation and in control of your life. Flying
dreams of this nature are often a nighttime
manifestation of the feeling of rising above it all and being in control.
Often dreamers are able to control where they fly in their dreams. Being able to control where you fly, how
fast you fly and how high or low you fly is often a representation of a
strong sense of personal power.
The flip side of that happy
scenario are dreams in which the dreamer has difficulty remaining in the
air, or dreams where you are unable to fly and begin to fall to
earth.
These types of flying dreams can
represent a lack of power, and an inability to control your personal
circumstances. Often people going through situations where they feel
powerless will experience these negative
kinds of flying dreams.
Obstacles like power lines,
mountains and trees in a flying dream can be dream state manifestations of
actual barriers in your waking life. For instance, if you feel that
roadblocks are constantly going up in your
life, you may see these roadblocks manifested as trees, mountains, power
lines or other hazards in your flying dream. Identifying the barriers in your life, and overcoming them, can
remove these barriers from your dream state as well as your waking
life.
Often the dreamer will
experience fear while flying, or be afraid that he or she is flying too
high. These types of dreams are often representations of fear of
challenge, or fear that you cannot
succeed.
 Dreams of
flying are some of the most interesting types of dreams for dream
researchers and psychologists. Unlike dreams of being naked, dreams or
running, dreams of falling and other common
dreams, flying dreams represent an ability that humans do not have
in their waking lives. Anytime someone dreams of doing something
they do not have the ability to do, it is
of interest to dream researchers.
Dreams of flying can
represent yearning, or striving to be better. They can also be
manifestations of feelings of power, or in some cases feelings of lack of
power. The ability of the dreamer to take
control of the flight in his or her dream can be an exhilarating
experience, and provide the dreamer with a feeling of power than can last
into his or her waking life.
No matter what the dream of flying
represents, it remains one of the most fertile fields in the world of
dream interpretation. There are many reasons to dream of flying, and
many ways such a dream can play itself out.
Chances are that dreams of flying have been around as long as humans have
been dreaming, and that they will continue to be around for millennia to come.
