Kitty's Dream Dictionary Series: F is for Flying Dream Interpretations

Have you ever had a flying dream? Flying dreams tend to be recurring types of dreams and can be intensely exhilarating for the dreamer. Many people talk of having flying dreams and also want to know the meaning of flying dreams, as flying dreams tend to be the most memorable type of dreams and are also the most widely searched. In this hub, we will examine some of the most common flying dreams and potential meanings or interpretations for those flying dreams.

Please note that I am not a psychologist, I simply am an avid dreamer and have done a lot of research on dreams in my lifetime. These dream interpretations should be taken and molded to fit your life.

One of the most common flying dreams to have is a flying dream in which you are flying to escape something or someone in your dream. I, myself, have had this dream many times. It is almost as if you realize "Oh, hey! I can fly in my dreams!" and then you proceed to fly away from an attacker or scary situation within your dream. How could this type of flying dream be interpreted? The first thing you'll want to think about is what is chasing you or what are you flying away from? Is it a person that you know? Is it a monster? Is it merely a scary situation? Examine the surroundings and the details of what you are trying to escape or fly away from. In my flying dreams as a teenager, I flew away from a prison cell in many of my flying dreams. Something was making me feel as though I was imprisoned and I was trying to break free. I realized that I was trying to break free from low self-esteem. Flying in my dream was representative of my independence and breaking free from years of low self-esteem. Could you be flying away from something that is holding you down?

What about when a monster or bad person is chasing you and you are flying to get away from him/her? That monster is most likely representative of someone that you feel is restraining you in your life. If the monster has broken into your home, intruding monsters usually represent an impending illness in the family. Maybe your body is aware that you are getting sick and trying to fight it off. Flying away from the intruder is your subconscious effort to fly away from the sickness.

Another common flying dream is the dream in which you are trying to take off but can't seem to get off the ground. This flying dream can be interpreted as that you are trying to accomplish a goal but feel as though every time you try, you can't seem to get there. Keep trying, you'll make it soon enough!

What about plain old flying through the air and over an ocean flying dreams? These are usually very joyful and exhilarating and leave the dreamer with a feeling of euphoria, even upon waking. You are reaching new heights in your life, maybe in your career, in your relationships, or even within yourself and your own spiritual path.
