Flying
Freedom, ambition, and the overview you get when you finally rise above a situation.
Flying in a dream where you choose the height and direction is a strong signal: something is going well, often in a way you have not yet articulated to yourself. You feel unhampered. Pay attention to what is below you in the dream — it is usually the thing you have stopped letting weigh on you.
Flying low, struggling to gain height, usually means you are trying to outgrow a situation that still has its hooks in you. Flying and being shot at or pulled down is interference — someone close to you is uncomfortable with your direction.
Landing gracefully is a healthy ending. Not being able to land is sometimes the dream warning you about overreach.
Where you often see it. Flying without effort over a familiar landscape. Flying with sudden loss of altitude. The dream uses flying for freedom, ambition, and the overview you get when you finally rise above a situation.
What it is not. Flying is not always escape. The dictionary often reads it as the moment perspective becomes available.
Related in the dictionary. Read flying with bird, sky, plane, and any scene of altitude gained on your own terms.
