Flying Dreams are often Lucid Dreams

Mystical Blaze, as do other websites on dream interpretation, aligns flying dreams with lucid dreams saying that flying dreams are often precursors to lucid dreams. Here’s an excerpt from Mystical Blaze explaining the concept:

We feel on top of the world and are soaring to great heights in our minds when we fly. Flying dreams are very often a precursor for lucid dreaming, a dream state in which we are aware we are dreaming and can manipulate the outcome of the dream. Even in a dream state, most of us are aware that we can’t fly in normal life, thus on some level a flying dream likely coincides with dreaming lucidly for the vast majority of the population, though most awaken unaware of the fact that they were engaged in a lucid dream.

Flying Dreams foretell disaster according to source

After researching a number of sources for interpretations of flying dreams, I was ready to conclude that flying dreams, especially when the dreamer feels happy and confident reflect satisfaction with the dreamer’s life.

Not so, according to Experience Project. This website lists a number of types of flying dreams, all of them foretelling problems, for example:

Flying over muddy water means enemies are watching you so keep your life details private

Real Meaning of Dreams lists three possible meanings for flying in your dreams, based on your feelings during the dream:

If it is a joyful experience you are probably feeling confident in being able to get where you want to go, that you have the skills necessary to achieve your dreams.

If in your dreams you are flying away from something or someone you may be shirking responsibility.

If you are trying to get off the ground and can’t or if you can get off the ground but maintaining your flying takes a lot of hard work…this may mean you feel your freedom is limited by something. And it can mean you feel you have difficulty controlling what happens in your life.

Flying Dreams can encourage the dreamer to take more risks in their waking life

Psychic medium Craig Hamilton-Parker adds a new dimension to the dream interpretation of flying dreams. He suggests that to interpret your flying dream, ask yourself:

What is it I am being released from? Think about the things that have been troubling you of late. Perhaps the difficulty or emotional problem that has grounded you for so long is not as bad as you thought. Sometimes it is important to tread the paths of life lightly. Let the freedom, gentleness and carefree feeling of the dream be expressed in your behaviour.

Do I feel anxiety or fear? You may thrill at the feeling of risk that your dream gives you. If so, you may want to take more risks in your life with, for example, your work or a relationship. If you feel trepidation and alarm you may be over-reaching yourself and need to get a firmer footing in your life. Your dreams and ambitions may be too grandiose and not in accord with what you can realistically expect to achieve.

Dream Interpretation: Flying

Over the years, I occasionally have dreams when I am flying, as I did a couple of days ago. I felt very happy and joyful as I flew through the air. So, what did it mean?

An excerpt from the Dream Moods interpretation says:

If you are flying with ease and are enjoying the scene and landscape below, then it suggests that you are on top of a situation. You have risen above something. It may also mean that you have gained a new and different perspective on things. Flying dreams and the ability to control your flight is representative of your own personal sense of power.

As it turns out, on the day before I had the flying dream, I had worked very hard on a book my company is publishing. I had felt afraid that I was falling behind the publishing timetable. However, because I made good progress, I felt happy as I went to sleep because I had accomplished my goals. So, the Dream Moods interpretation fit with my feeling of my own personal sense of power.

Was Sweden Atlantis?

Bettany Hughes has written a delightful article, Carving out the buried secrets of the lost city of Atlantis, for The Telegraph. She is convinced that the mega-volcanic eruption that destroyed Thera on the present-day island of Santorini eventually transformed itself into the Atlantis myth.

Although I disagree with her, I love her research. She has discovered that:

… Olaus Rudbeck’s who (as well as discovering the lymph system) spent 30 years in the 17th century writing 3,000 pages to prove Atlantis was in fact Sweden.

How delightful! Why not. If Ireland could be Atlantis, as some folks believe, then why not Sweden!

Edgar Cayce quote on Atlanteans in Peru

Here’s the excerpt from a trance reading from Edgar Cayce, America’s “Sleeping Prophet,” saying that citizens of Atlantis did travel to South America, and specifically Peru:

When in the Atlantean land, there were those making for that change that was for the preservation of the peoples; and the entity – with others – migrated to what is known as the Peruvian, or later known as the Incal land.
Paragraph 4, Reading 470-22, given for a 48-year-old male construction engineer on July 5th, 1938 at Edgar Cayce’s home on Arctic Crescent in Virginia Beach, Virginia

Edgar Cayce on Atlanteans in South America

In yesterday’s blog post I wondered if Atlanteans had made colonies in South America. Edgar Cayce, America’s “sleeping prophet,” said that Atlanteans had been in what is now Peru, so, yes, Atlanteans were in South America.

Did Atlanteans make colonies in South America?

Here’s something new about South America that may connect with Atlantis and its colonization:

Odd discoveries continue to turn up. An old book by South American explorer Colonel Percy Fawcett (Lost Trails, Lost Cities) speaks of isolated Indians speaking of great crystals atop temples in ruined cities buried deeply within Brazil, glowing columns, shafts of glass or crystal just like in Cayce’s readings. But this was recorded before Cayce started giving any trances on Atlantis.
