What Does Dreaming of Flying Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
According to traditional interpretation and Ibn Sirin, flying in a dream is mostly taken as auspicious; it may point to a rise in position, to relief, and to a blessed journey. A steady, winged flight may signify that success will be all the stronger, while flying without wings may signify that one's current situation is about to change.
Psychological View
In modern psychology, a flying dream can often reflect liberation, the crossing of limits, and the desire to break free of constraining pressures. In the Jungian reading, ascent may point to rising out of the unconscious into a sense of control and mastery, while a flight mixed with the fear of falling may point to anxiety about losing control.
