Helicopter Dreams

Helicopter dreams represent quickly taking off in some aspect of your life.

While dreaming about a plane shows you’re making gradual progress, a helicopter indicates more sudden and accelerated movement. This movement may be positive or negative depending how the dream goes.

The helicopter’s appearance and actions each offers clues to the outcome of the event you’re dreaming about. Helicopters take off, land, hover, and sometimes even crash. These actions are all hints as to what your dream means and how to understand it.

Helicopter Symbolism in Dreams

Dreams about flying in the air are very common, but helicopters have specific qualities that bring additional symbolism:

• Helicopters can point towards achieving our goals and tasks
• Freedom and the ability to rise above the occasion
• Confidence and success in new ventures
• Elevated mood and happiness
• Movement from one place to a next

Also consider the contexts in which we usually see helicopters. In waking life, we see them airlifting critical patients to hospitals or on the news in war zones. The qualities of helicopters may appear in your dreams to show you’re about to quickly “lift” out of a dangerous situation.

These machines allow people to maneuver in and out of tight spaces, make sudden changes, and take off from many more places than other aircraft. Dreaming of being in a helicopter allows you to fly without the need for takeoffs, runways, or the hassle of an airport.

Is there a situation you want to rise out of as fast as you can? Maybe you’re about to!

Bad Helicopter Dream Meaning?

Dreaming of rising up into the air is often a positive symbol of growth and success. However, the behavior of the helicopter you’re dreaming about may show you that trouble is ahead.

Unfortunately, helicopters are known to crash, end up on fire, and even chase the dreamer. So if a helicopter points towards success, freedom and growth, a negative dream about helicopters reflects the opposite taking place in your life.

Maybe this dream was hinting at some sort or unrealistic expectations or failed goals that crashed in the beginning stage. These dreams are here to prepare you for delays ahead, if you haven’t had them already.

Spiritual Meaning of Helicopters

The purpose of helicopter is to make you reach the sky up above. The spiritual or prophetic meaning of helicopter connects to towards the sun. The root Heli comes from Greek hḗlios, meaning “sun.” The Latin cognate, sōl, is the source of several words related to the sun, such as solar and solstice.

Dreams about The Sun have very strong connections with masculine energy, the divine, and new growth in our lives. The helicopter reaches high off the ground thus bringing you closer to God and higher consciousness. You will also be provided with better insight and intuition as you rise.

The helicopter also gives the dreamer the ability to escape difficult situation that they are facing. Could this problem be more abstract or spiritual than the ones we’re already mentioned?

Helicopters also offer metaphors suggesting moving objects from place to place, or accessing hard-to-reach places. Are you seeking a higher awareness or bridge to God in your dream?

Furthermore, the circular motion of the propeller brings in the powerful dream symbol of a circle. The shape that has no beginning or an end it becomes the force that  guides the dreamer towards enlightenment, transformation and a rebirth.

Ancient Helicopter hieroglyphs?

Helicopter hieroglyphs refer to an Egyptian hieroglyph carving from the Temple of Seti. Some say that this engraving was resurrected over many times giving it a look of a UFO or helicopter. But what if this was the original? If this was the case than the helicopter would have a more profound meaning that dates as far back as 3,000 B.C. or perhaps older.
