Dream Meaning: Flying
Updated
Dreams about flying are commonly interpreted as freedom, perspective and confidence — or a wish to escape. Dream symbols are personal — the emotion you felt in the dream matters more than the symbol itself.
Common interpretation
Most dream dictionaries and psychologists who work with dreams read flying as freedom, perspective and confidence — or a wish to escape. Recurring dreams tend to fade once the waking-life issue is addressed.
