Dream Interpretation: Flying

Flying is among the most beautiful dream images of all. It stands for overcoming boundaries – mentally, emotionally, and sometimes in relation to societal expectations. In many traditions, flying is considered a symbol of the free soul that releases itself from heaviness and takes a higher perspective.

How flying feels says a lot: If you glide effortlessly through the air, you're currently experiencing real lightness or a sense of new beginnings. If you're struggling against a fall, however, the dream could show that you're longing for freedom but at the same time afraid of losing your grip. The view from above – of problems, people, your life – is also a frequent element.

Where in your everyday life do you long for more lightness – and what's keeping you from truly rising up?
