Flying dreams can mean astral projection

Another one of my favorite books on dream interpretation is Dreams Your Magic Mirror: With Interpretations of Edgar Cayce by Elsie Sechrist. I love this book.

However, it can sometimes be frustrating finding the information I’m looking for since many of the dream symbols and their dream interpretations are scattered throughout the book. Fortunately, the book has a very good index.

Ms. Sechrist bases her dream interpretations on Edgar Cayce’s psychic readings. Here are the various dream interpretations for flying in a dream:

Flying dreams come frequently to people in performance professions

Although lately I have been referring to online sources for dream interpretations of flying dreams, this doesn’t mean that I don’t have treasured dream interpretation books. For example, one of my favorites is The Complete Dream Book by Gillian Holloway. As a matter of fact, I had the good fortune of interviewing Gillian during my dream teleseminar series a number of years ago. She was great.

According to Gillian, people in performance professions have flying dreams frequently. By performance professions I would imagine she means actors, spiritual leaders, tour guides, stand-up comics, and speakers. I must say that, from my experience as a speaker, there are times when the rapport I feel with the audience feels as if I am soaring.

Flying to the moon dream means disaster

Here’s an interesting dream interpretation for a flying dream. Although Dream Revealer does say that usually dreams of flying are normally a “good omen,” however:

If you dream you are flying so high that you can actually touch the moon and stars this portends many different types of global disaster that you may soon hear of.
Dream Revealer

Can you imagine dreaming of flying to the moon. That’s pretty scary, isn’t it?

Flying dreams come to free, strong minds

According to Dream Interpretation:

flying dreams indicate that a person has a strong will and mind. The feeling of soaring to new heights reflects a free mind.

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

Flying dreams may

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.

Dream Interpretation: Alien Abduction

According to Aunt Flo, a dream with an alien in it is:

This dream is often referred to as a nightmare as it generally indicates a crisis point of your life – where you seem to have no resolution. You need to analyze events that happened in your life recently as you feel that your spirit has been wounded. The message here is to start to look into situations which have resulted in you trying to overcome any conflict that you have experienced. The most useful change for you going forward is that you need to be able to be subjective in regards to your approach to situations with others. If you focus on looking at the practical matters in your waking life this will enable you to understand the background of complex situations, so you can find the best approach. A solution from another will be offered if you ask for help. Maybe you have been feeling that you have worked hard in order to get to where you are in life and that you are enjoying your projects and routine but you know that it is time to move on.
