What does it mean to be flying in a dream?

Question

I've had about 3 or 4o of those...but yesterday i was flying fast! I was with a group of people and once in a while i'd just fly to this concrete building and look at the people down there. It was me solely flying...nothing helping me do so, like an airplane or bike...or wings........it was just my body. What does it mean?

Answer 1

To dream that you are flying signifies freedom, or a sense of freedom in an aspect of your life in which you felt restricted before.

If you are with a group of people in your dream then that usually implies that you have more freedom or perceived freedom in social aspects of your life, or more freedom to express things to these people than before.

It would have helped to know if you actually have met these people in real life.

Answer 2

I've had dreams of flight, too.  They have come to me in times when I feel most powerful, courageous, and comfortable with my situation.  

On the other hand, I've had dreams where I want to fly desperately, but cannot do it no matter how hard I try.  These tend to be in times when I feel weighed down by pressure or negatives and can't "break free" at the moment.

I hope this is a positive feeling for you.  When you were looking down from the building, what were you feeling?  Were you sad for the people who couldn't be where you were, or did you feel superior?  These feelings can be indicative of how you were viewing this "high flying" position.  Maybe you feel you have "spread your wings" but have left some people behind who could not do the same?

I hope you find your answer. :)
