Flying

Flying in a dream is quite common and pleasant phenomenon, reflecting high aspirations, ambitions, inspiration, fantasy, and desire for freedom. The dream is a positive sign because it confirms readiness to cope with any task. You can rise above mediocrity and nothing limits you.

Each dream has also a negative meaning. In the case of flying it would be the lack of realism and detachment from reality. Day-dreaming according to Jung is an attempt to escape the responsibilities and problems of every-day life.

Detailed meaning:
