Flying Dreams

Did you ever have a dream where you can fly? Maybe you can fly very high - or maybe you can only get a few feet off the ground - either way, it's usually about something other than flying. The message is deeper than that.

Flying themes are among the most memorable themes because there is such a "phyical feeling", to these dreams. The dreamer often feels the phyical feeling of wind, sunshine, rain, and the familiar feeling of falling. Flying dreams usually take us on a journey to places far away, and allow us to see things from a different perspective. Which is exactly what these dreams try to show us,"a different perspective". No matter how big we think we are these dreams remind us once again that we are but one small person in this world. But yet we all have our own special magic, and power. Flying dreams can also reach into the realm of psychic and prophetic dreaming. We can travel on journeys to anywhere in our dreams, and sometimes what we have seen is actually a realistic place. This subject is very touchey, but yes...I do believe we can do this, out of body experience. I know it has happened in my life, and to several of my friends and family. Can we all be discounted? I don't think so. All of our dreams have a message. Flying dreams that end in "landing in bed" are common. Landing in your bed is almost always at the exact moment of wakeing, startled. Some believe this is the soul returning to the body.
Flying through the sky, and flying through the stars in space is one of the most beautiful, visual experiences of the dream world, if you have never had one of these dreams, I hope someday you will....and see the world in a whole new perspective.
Flying Without Assistance

Flying in a dream is a fairly common, but very powerful event. Flying events seem to be divided among those who fly spontaneously in their dreams and those who have a lucid dreaming event and choose to fly. In either case, the dreamers report powerful feelings of freedom in the flight.

Flying as a spontaneous event often includes some special effort, like flapping one's arms, to get going. However, many people experience flight as soaring by a mysterious, jet-like power. These events are precipitated by a strong desire to travel or an imminent danger that requires escape.

Flying as a lucid dreaming choice is often of the levitation variety. These dreamers simply choose to fly because, in the reality of their dream, they know they may. This may be related to astral projection or an out-of-body experience that some people undergo.

These flights allow dreamers to transcend circumstances and acquire a more favorable or safer perspective. What prompted the will to fly-danger or euphoria-and where did the flight lead?

Nonsensical Means

In addition to flying independently, dreamers may fly on bikes, cars, boats, or other non-airborne equipment. These flights are generally brought about by circumstances where the current means of travel suddenly became inadequate or endangers the dreamer. A good example of this type of flight would be a bicycle that becomes airborne rather than be struck by a car. This dream may reveal a dreamer that sees dangers as inconsequential. It may also be a hero dream.
