Where are you experiencing a similar sense of freedom in your life? What about the feeling of inevitability? Are you happy with that balance?

Lucid dreaming is associated with flying dreams
Flying dreams are associated with lucid dreaming. One of the most popular motivations for learning to dream is to be able to experience flying. The notion is that once you become lucid in your dreams, which means that you become aware of the fact you’re dreaming, you become able to control your dreams. You could fly like a bird, a plane, or even Superman.
Your dream of flying might be inviting you to start a practice of lucid dreaming. If you’re having a good time flying in your dreams, then you may want to develop the power to have these dreams anytime you want. To start lucid dreaming, you first need to set up a habit of dream recall, then set intentions to become aware that you’re dreaming. Would you like the ability to consciously relate to your own experience and to control it through awareness?
Dreams that you can almost fly may be inviting you to practice deeper awareness, focus, and will. You might know you can fly like Superman or a bird, jump in the air, and hover instead of flying up and up. You might try to fly and in some way fail. If your dream of flying symbolizes something like the awareness and control of lucid dreaming, then your attempt and challenge flying might symbolize your attention, focus, or will.
What would it feel like to have enough focus to be able to fly up and up in your dream without being brought back into the illusion of the dream? What would it feel like to wake up to the deeper truths of your life to fly over the problems and illusions of your everyday earthly lives?

Many dreaming cultures understand dreams to be when the soul leaves the physical body and journeys throughout the physical and spiritual world. Whatever your beliefs about spirituality, the symbol of flying reference the vast tradition of spiritual experience.
The world of waking experience happens in only one plane of existence. The soul in dreams has access to several realms. You may find yourself flying in this world, over streets that you know. When you dream of flying, you may be experiencing flight in this world through your spiritual senses.
Spiritual flight in dreams is not metaphor, it is very real, and so you might gain knowledge of this physical world through your non-bodily senses. What would it feel like to discover a new sight in your dreams that you later encounter in your waking experience?
Just as your non-physical senses can perceive this physical world, they can perceive many levels or planes of experience. In your dreams of flying, you may pass through angelic realms or other dimensions. The universe is infinitely more incredible than we can imagine. When we pay attention to our dreams, we might gain experience of the multidimensionality of human experience.
If you’re having dreams of spiritual flight, then you may be in a process of spiritual development. This may be scary or confusing at first, it’s okay. It might be restful, exciting, or some other extreme emotion, it’s okay. Know that by experiencing your dreams of spiritual flight and by your courage in your spiritual development, you are serving your relations and bringing benefit to those around you and your world.

The messages of dreams are sent for your insight, healing, or transformation. If you’re dreaming of flying, you may be invited to open to spiritual development.
Dreams about plane flight

If you’re happy about flying, then moving soon in some way might be a good idea. If you’re unhappy with flying in a plane in a dream, then moving soon might in some way be a bad idea. If you’ve already moved, then the dream might be inviting you to feel your true feelings about the move.
Dreaming of flying then falling to death
Flying and falling are similar experiences. In flying, you’re soaring through the air. It’s the same with falling, but you’re out of control. If you dream you’re falling and know you’re going to hit the ground, you’re invited to consider your own mortality and the risk of death in your life. Like all dreams, the omen may point to literal and figurative expressions of the image. It may point to the risk of physical death, but it may also point to an experience that feels like death.
Like all dream omens, the image of falling to your death is neither good nor bad. An omen of death is also an omen of rebirth. To the ego, its own death is the most abhorrent idea, but in experience you emerge into deeper joy and service through death of the ego. Consider where in your life there’s risk of death.
Can plane crash dreams or other falling dreams predict the future?
There may be some catastrophe in your dream of flight. It might have been scary and you may be wondering if your dream of a plane crash can predict the future. Just like all dreams, plane crash dreams might predict a literal plane crash, but might predict a metaphoric plane crash. The best way to tell if your plane dream predicts the future is to listen to your intuition.
If you feel like your plane crash dream predicts the future, then listen to your intuition and take reasonable actions based on the guidance of your dream. If your heart is warning you about a plane flight, then you might want to reschedule the flight if that’s reasonable to do.
If you’re unclear, you can always as your dreams for more clarity or information. Simply repeat your intention to have a dream that will provide you clarity and guidance. You can repeat your intention throughout the day, before you go to bed, and whenever you experience awareness in your dreams. Then record your feelings and experience when you awake. Take action or gain insight from your feelings or dreams with faith that your experience brings you more clarity.
