Flying Dreams: Lucid
Popularized by the Hollywood blockbuster Inception, a lucid dreams is defined as the ability to take control over your settings, narrative and even your environment. Flying dreams and lucid dreaming seems to go hand and hand, but there is a fine line between the ability to “control your dreams” and randomly flying in your dream.
It is not uncommon for people to practice the art of lucid dreaming just to experience the amazing rush of flying. The feeling can be as euphoric as being induced by a drug.
Alternatively, this is not actually necessary for a dream to be described as lucid. It has long intrigued scientists as it incorporates self-awareness and control, which are elements of wakefulness into dreaming. In order to properly decode the meaning of your dream you will have to distinguish if your dream was in fact lucid.
Benefits Of Lucid Dreaming:
- Overcoming fears,
- Help solving problems,
- Stop nightmares,
- Connecting with your inner self.
Analyzing Flying Dreams
Did you know that our dreams speak to us in a language often in images and metaphors relating to our personal lives. Thus becoming a personal guide hinting at your weakness, strengths and future possibilities. While flying could be classified under a “lucid type” dream it actually contains very positive symbolism.
People who often experience flying dreams notice a connection to a new transitional phase in their lives. In fact this can be mimicked as being able to take off randomly at any given moment. In life we all experience exciting times that make us happy we are living on this earth.
These powerful symbols reflect during specific times in your life where change is imminent. However you will need to figure out if flying is relating to an internal or external happening.
Not to be discouraged if you only flew for a short period of time, or maybe you jumped high up but landed – these dreams are hinting at not giving up and keep trying.
Spiritual Connection
There seems to be a connection between flying and possible spiritual ascension – is the process of spiritual awakening that moves you into a higher frequency. Similar accounts have shown that astral projection and outer body experiences tend to occur during times of spiritual awakenings, or increased psychic abilities.
In most cases flying can be comparable or related to an O.B.E or astral projection. If flying or floating in dreams tend to mimic the experience felt during an outer body experience then its possible the dreamer may have an increased vibrations.
For the most part once you have a dream flying without any difficulty it is a good omen that will bring future luck and self guidance.
- ESP
- Clairvoyance
- Increased intuition
- Living in the moment
- Inner peace
Trouble Staying In The Air?
Struggling to fly can be a frustrating experience as you might only get a couple seconds in the air. In some cases dreamers often experience lifting off the ground but coming right back down. These dreams are very symbolic that suggests something might be holding you back from advancing to the next stage in life.
Your dream might provide you with clues to show you where you might be lacking confidence or advancement. You can reflect on the people around you, location and the context.
Try and think what was stopping you from taking off in your dream whether it was a you, a friend or a building that was in your way. These objects help us determine what is stopping us from moving up in the world.
- Stuck in life
- Trying to get to the next level or advance
- Wanting to experience a thrill but fears are holding you back
- Close to achieving your goals
- Risk taking
Scared of Flying Dreams
Since these dreams tend to be extremely vivid and the single thought of falling can bring you to the ground. Heights can either be an exhilarating or nightmarish experience.
Being afraid to fly usually donates to the dreamers fears that have manifested in their heads. The ego is responsible for stopping you from enjoying the fruits of life, to much negative thinking stops you from having fun.
You might want to examine if you have control issues or trouble of letting go of the past. Maybe it’s connected to trouble setting goals too high you cannot reach.
- Resistance,
- Afraid to take a chance,
- Need for excitement,
- Connected to your anxiety and fears,
- Letting your fears control you.
Flying Dream Symbolism
It is important to know what direction where you where going when you were flying high up in the clouds. Flying upwards in your dream suggest you are now on a new level spiritually. If you were flying downwards we are trying to get more attuned to our unconscious.
If you are flying low to the ground it represents strength and determination in your life. If you are flying backwards suggests you want to relive the past and the good memories you experienced.
Hovering or flying over water bring your awareness to concurring your emotions. It will be metaphoric for being on top your feelings. Flying over mountains connects you with the spiritual side. These are both positive dream symbols.
Gliding over cities, buildings and houses are common lucid type dreams having the dreamer feel as they are superman. These dreams could suggest control over your mind, body and soul.
Dreams of flying life like a bird brings your focus on your own personal freedom as well being free spirited.
Flying A Plane In Dream Meaning
You have a chance to become a pilot for the night. Flying a plane is a very positive dream symbol that brings your attention to control over you next destination. Planes take us from one destination to another. This would be metaphoric as to what is currently going on during your daily life. Experiencing turbulence or crashing suggest issues reaching the next stage.
I actually have a recurring weird dream where I’m able to fly when I focus hard. I’m practicing to control it & gradually come down when suddenly a group of people come running to attack me & I loose concentration & can’t fly. But when they are just pounding onto me I again focus hard & narrowly escape by shooting up. Then I wake up feeling relieved.
I’ve actually seen this dream number of times. I’m not sure what psychiatrists will make out of it.
I dream I was flying and could hear my grandmas that are dead were praying and on my dream there were 2 little girls that were praying but I Don’t know who the girls are and they were telling me they love me the wired thing is they were praying the Prayer to the death. I’m still trying to figure out what does it mean. Does anyone know what it means?
Since I was in my teens i had a recurring dream a few times a week were I could lift off the ground and hover above people, in my 20’s I was then able to thrust higher and take short flights, in my 30’s I can fly unrestricted very fast and even carry people whilst doing so. I have these dreams 2 or 3 times a week.
I keep having a dream/feeling like I am awake and something comes over me, but I can’t talk make any sound or move. It makes me hover through the house, dragging me right in the the air into walls, up to the roof, etc.
While I am asleep I have a scared feeling like what ever it is is trying to hurt me.
I constantly have this, 2-3 nights a week. What does it mean as I don’t like the feeling!!
Don’t be scared trust me I experienced the same thing. It’s totally natural, and it’s just a phase. The term given to this is called “sleep paralysis.” Once u over come ur fear and simply just relax you will actually “astral project.” And I swear it feels incredible! Not a lot of people can reach this level of consciousness but it means you are very balanced. And when I say balanced, I mean physically and spiritually. And if you still have any doubts let me just guess and say this ONLY happens while laying back, facing an upward position (not… Read more »
Based on the reading it seems like you are trying to fly but something inside is holding you back but you are externalizing this power as a being outside of YOURSELF. Are you flying in your current or childhood home, reflect on who is/was influential in your life in either place? Ask yourself what are/were you afraid of in your waking life that you need/needed to learn to let go of? Freedom starts when you can untie the knot that keeps you grounded in worry and take control over where YOU want to go.
I have this dream where it’s my consciousness without my body, and I just lift and go higher and higher while seeing everything get smaller, till I’m not here anymore and I see masses as I float through our solar system to the outer ring, and then there’s this jolt where it looks similar to what hyperdrive looks like on Star Trek, and then an abrupt and here I am a new Galaxy new planets and constellations, slowly drifting through, then boom take off it happens again, this continues until I see it all getting smaller and further away as… Read more »
Ok then. So what does it mean when you dream about flying possessed, zombie people who threaten you?
I’ve had several dreams in the last week or so about floating in the stars and I don’t know what it means in it I’m literally just floating patient calm and observant contemplated really if somebody could let me know what it means I would be greatly appreciate it.
Almost every time I have a flying dream, I only fly for a short amount of time before “nosediving” and crashing to the ground in a tumble. I don’t usually feel pain, but I feel afraid, and for some reason I can’t control my body, so I just keep flying, falling, flying, falling, over and over again for at least a few cycles.
Mine are always soaring high to the moon in a clear night sky, I’m always so close to the moon and stars it’s shocking. But I never see the comments on that, lol. I can only go by my intuition of how exhilarating I feel when I wake up. As if I was really there. It’s a gift. That’s for sure
I have recurring dreams that I’m flying a B-17 bomber during WWII, and my plane gets shot but not damaged too much, and I can’t lift it off the ground too well.
i have been flying all my life was 7 0r 8 when i started i can control my dreams and fly when i want to i also dream of wear wolves vampires chasing me I’ve beentaken by them places but they let me go im also a dintuitve empath with gifts might have some thing to do with dreams runs infamily flying is fun and can be dangerous be careful
Recently, I have been trying to figure out what a dream meant in my youth. As a teenager I was in a lucid dream, where i was aware i was in my bed, and at the end of my bed I saw a wizard / old man. He was short, floating at the end of my bed, had a gown, pointed hat, and staff. I was completely aware of my surroundings, I was laying in my bed, which was aligned north to south. My head was ion the south end. As I looked at him, he simply stared at me.… Read more »
All my life I’ve had flying dreams. When I was a kid I would dream about trying to run off the porch of my childhood home and leap into the sky. I would get a few feet into the air and float back down. Extremely frustrating. During this time period I was in an abusive home and felt stuck. Now, years later I am having flying dreams again. They are different though. I recently had a lucid flying dream where I was on a hill, jumped into the air, and started flying. I experienced the same force trying to pull… Read more »
Maybe try praying to God? Was it Jesus. Do you know Him yet? Maybe He wants a relationship with you?
I was laying here with my anxiety felt like normal night I thought I was awake I felt normal I remember slight chest pains but it’s the normal kind that I always feel nothing terrible. I swear I was awake but I must have been sleeping. Then I felt like a burst like a wind so strong that I couldn’t hold myself than I was like flying so fast like the speed of light. I couldn’t see anything. Then I stopped and was in this room by myself it was empty nothing around anywhere like an echo room that empty.… Read more »
Hi Kiley, Whilst I can’t analyse your dream I can share mine with you. I lost my mother last May and her twin sister 2 weeks later. Recently I had a dream and I’m not sure when it happened but remembered it today. I was with a few people in a countryside location and not sure where. I levitated slowly about 8-10 meters off the ground then moved forward and upward and moved freely through the air. This happened a couple of times in different locations. I now look at this as rising up and moving forward. The feeling from… Read more »
I have flying dreams. Not often, but just as mentioned above, it’s when I am in situations of great change and possibilities. It’s never been easy tho, i used an example for a work friend to describe i remember, i usually have to jump off the table or something and before I hit the ground I need to front flip 90 degrees so my feet are higher off the ground than my head. So, again exactly what’s mentioned above the fears of failure holding me back. Spot on!
I have able to fly in my dreams all of my life!!!!! I have been everywhere! It is an amazing feeling to be able to fly, the first dream of flying I flew from one city to another, now I can just fly anywhere I want, wake up, then go back to sleep and continue on with the same dream of flying!!!❤️
Sounds like you’re remote viewing. Have you ever gone to the moon?
12/6/22- Today I dreamt about floating/flying again. But this time, I was showing others that I can fly and was even trying to teach someone. The first scenario involved flying while working out, I was jogging with a woman and as I began to jog I decided to fly intermittently. The woman was surprised so I was trying to teach her how to fly but she couldn’t do it. My thoughts in reality: I’ve been talking about working out again recently and this woman may be my ex-best friend that I used to work out with. We are no longer… Read more »
what about seeing a lot of people just flying around. no planes just people in the air.
You would benefit your situation greatly if you acquired one or the other of T. Lobsang Rampa’s books on Astral traveling. What you describe is exactly what one experiences when astral traveling.Those other people are dreamers like yourself. This can be done intentionally. Look for “The Third Eye” or “You … Forever”.
I’ve astral traveled since I was 2 years old. Clairvoyance, discernment, intuitiveness, prophecy, and empaths run in my family (it’s all generational) and I have all of those abilities. I dream of flying a LOT, I have lucid dreams a LOT, I have many many dreams that come true and recently I dreamed I was flying and a young man (late teens to very early 20’s) came flying up very quickly to me and motioned his head and hands for me to follow him but did so in a way to do so very quickly and in a way that… Read more »
I used to experience something similar. My dream would start when I was already at high altitude. It was always at night, and I could sense that there were others flying with me. At times I would turn my head from side to side, and I could see that I was flying with many others. In every one of my flying dreams i am with a group, but I do not recognize anyone, and we are flying over the coast of California, and it is the most euphoric feeling I ever experienced. I suppose if it was not a dream… Read more »
In your dream, were these people flying directly above you? I think I had similar dreams too
What about flying on a bird?
Recurring dream of flying…getting higher with each dream. I can control how high I go most of the time. There have been times, in the beginning, that I was unable to control when I would come down before I was ready. However, last night I had a combined recurring dream. i dreamed about several people who have passed (not recent). I was flying after playing a part in their death. There was one family member in this dream who is not dead…but she died in the dream. This has happened repeatedly as of late. However, this is the first time… Read more »
