One of the most pleasant dreams of all is one in which you suddenly find yourself flying through the air with ease. In many dreams of this type, you feel extraordinarily happy as you explore life from your aerial perspective. In this case, the dream is an experience of absolute freedom of spirit, free from worldly restraints.

Sometimes, the dream can be the psyche’s way of compensating for feelings of being weighed down with worldly responsibilities or restrictions in your waking life. It may also indicate that you find your normal routine dreary so you tend to escape into a fantasy world. In both cases, the dream is encouraging you to consider how you could make your daily life more interesting.

If you are one of nature’s ‘high-fliers’, the dream may be a message about the need to find ways of using your gifts so that you can fulfil your potential. But if you fly so high in the dream that you leave the earth behind, you are being warned of the dangers of being over-ambitious. You may have your head in the clouds but it’s also important to keep your feet on the ground.
