What is the spiritual meaning of flying in a dream?
From a positive perspective, flying always represents freedom in dreams. When you fly freely in your dreams, it seems to indicate that you could go anywhere. In other words, the flying dream is implying that you could do anything and be anyone if you want to do.
However, negatively speaking, a flying dream could symbolize your internal desire that escaping from somewhere or something you can not stand. The stress and anxiety of your daily life may be the leading cause of such a dream.
5 scenarios and their interpretations
Since the scenarios of flying dreams are various, here are some interpretations about 5 common ones.
1. If your flying dream is a lucid dream
The flying dream could be considered as a type of lucid dream in which dreamers can take control over the settings or plot of the dream. Meanwhile, you’re actually aware that you are having a dream.
To experience the amazing rush of flying, someone might practice the art of lucid dreams. In lucid dreams, your expectations really shape the dream. Thus, if you imagine a superman in waking hours when planning your dream itinerary, then this idea will come to your mind and this will be the way you fly.
2. If you dream about flying increasingly higher
This may denote success and freedom from obstacles. In reality, you might have overcome some difficulties and obtain victory in work, finance, or relationship. But negatively, the higher you fly, the worse you fall. So this dream could indicate your pride, which reminds you whether you’re always boasting in front of others in reality.
3. If you dream about falling down
Once you dream of falling down while flying, it might represent a decline in your status and personal growth. Maybe, some obstacles of real life are blocking your progress and you seem to fail in your pursuits. It’s time for you to stay focused on how to deal with the trouble.

It also means your inner strength and empowerment. You have removed all negativities in life and have become limitless.
5. If you dream about flying in an aircraft
This seems to signify that you have a clear goal in life. Airplanes denote life’s journey with freedom and independence. In this dream your destination is under control and you can easily reach there with courage and confidence, which means you can accomplish your goal successfully in reality as well.

This article helps a lot, but I think my case is different, because ever since I was a kid I’ve been having dreams of flying, and now am an adult but yet I can still fly, though I find it amazing cuz I do fly whenever I want to fly and I move in whatever direction I feel like moving towards, earlier today I dreamt again where I was just flying around to impress my friends and a stranger. Am just curious you know, cuz no one seems to understand when I tell.

I had a dream that I was flying what a great feeling it was.
Me and my parents, we had been invited to a certain family. They were a very large family,and every kid has a talent. And for me in order to show them that I had a talent to. I started to fly.
And everybody was amazed by me. I could fly in any kind of area I could jump and fly in the air or I could just take over and fly. It was an amazing feeling.
I wander is that good in reality?
Dreaming about fly for me, is the greatest feeling I ever dreamed. Because it gives me a certain feeling, it’s like I am free, it’s an awesome sensation, specially, when you are in the air, and observing the world under me, I felt very powerful, I hope to dream more again.
To be honest, I am still in bed and I’m gonna stand up and I’m gonna try to fly. I have a quite a high bed I’m gonna try first the way down from the top of my bed till the floor. If it works then I’m gonna jump from the Veranda.
In my twenties I often dream of flying. There would be people chasing me to hurt me, like with a gun or knife and just before they get me I would be able to just rise and fly away. There was a time when I was able to see the city I flew over and the houses and cars right under me and the sky was peaceful.
When I dream I’m flying away from the demons! If I’m flying fast enough I can get away from them. Their always more of them to over power me to slow me down! If they do get me to stop. They disappear and I get to fly away again.
I’ve always dreamed of flying since 12, I’m an adult now I still do, lately I saw myself fly away from where I live for another destination because of enemies, even on my way going in the air, I still met some little girls throwing obstacles at me, but I was so powerful that I couldn’t throw them back,
But the most surprising part of the dream is that throughout the journey, a very small girl was with me flying alongside
THAT’S VICTORY ON YOUR SIDE AND YOU AKSO FLY IN VICTORY WITH CHERUBIMS. CONGRATULATION
I could throw the obstacles back to the girls
I dreamt of flying too buh I feel scared that why am I even flying n I try to bring myself down buh still i won’t come down n I started flying around the sky like a bird.
Great, thanks for clear explanation..
I flew with 2 friendly strangers connecting a metal tube from an apparatus they had. We also flew with my jack Russell dog now passed on which I had for many years. We flew for not that long but I felt pretty calm and safe although we came down a little early as the dog whilst not distressed was a little uncomfortable. It felt calmly satisfying.
I always dream of a yellow kite since I was a kid that I am holding the kite and it takes me into the sky and I couldn’t get back down but I could see my grandparents home below then when I was around 9 years old my grandpa gave me that same kite and I was afraid of it until my twenties it stayed in my closet. I recently had that dream again and then my mom found that kite in the attic and gave it back to me she did not know about me having this dream. Why does the real life kite fro. My dream keep actually appearing and being given to me .
I really appreciate this article, it helps alot.
I dreamt last night of flying without wings, on seeing this beautiful lady staring at me makes me land and meet her.
I dream that I can take a few steps and hover above the ground, it takes effort to get above the others on the ground but once I am up I can soar.
I dream exactly the same as you….since i was very young, i have been dreaming flying and in the whole community, i was the only one with flying abilities….i have never tried to know the meaning of such dreams but now i have decided to seek the meaning i hope its a positive interpretation.
