The Omen of Dreaming of Flying

Dreaming of being able to control your flight: It indicates that you have achieved much in life recently. If you feel nervous or melancholy while flying in the dream, it may be a subconscious escape from reality. Additionally, ancient Indians believed that when sexual energy reaches the top of the head through energy channels, one dreams of flying; ancient Chinese held that "excess energy in the upper body leads to dreams of flying." Traditional Chinese medicine suggests that if there is an excess syndrome in the upper jiao— the area from the head to the stomach, including the chest, head, heart, and lungs— one is prone to dreaming of flying.

Dreaming of flying off the ground: Signifies misfortune in marital life.

Dreaming of flying at a low altitude almost close to the ground: Suggests illness and distress, but you will soon return to normal.

Dreaming of flying over muddy water: Warns you to handle personal matters cautiously, as your opponents are closely watching and waiting for an opportunity to deceive you.

Dreaming of flying over dilapidated places: Indicates bad luck and a discouraging surrounding environment. If you notice green trees and plants below while flying, you will experience a brief period of hardship, but will subsequently rise rapidly to success. Dreaming of seeing the sun while flying means your worries are meaningless—you fear failure, but will ultimately achieve success.

Dreaming of soaring in space: Flying past the moon and other planets foretells famine, war, and various troubles.

Dreaming of flying with black wings: Predicts disappointment and pain. If you fall while flying, it signifies your ruin; if you wake up when falling, you will successfully get your life back on track.

Frequently dreaming of being able to fly: Indicates progress in business and success in love. Those who often have such dreams will continue to thrive and fulfill their wishes. If the trees below appear bare or dead, it means to achieve your desires, you must overcome and eliminate obstacles encountered, but your efforts will yield little result.

A woman dreaming of being able to fly: Stopping to rest only on the spire of a church indicates there are many obstacles waiting for her to overcome, but she has adopted the wrong approach.

A woman dreaming of flying: Signifies that opponents are trying to prevent her from advancing to higher, more valuable, and more prosperous fields—reminding her to uphold Taoist principles of balance to safeguard her aspirations and Peace.

Dreaming of flying and landing safely: Auspicious. This dream, where the body does not touch the ground, is an omen of rising high and achieving great things. Wise people gain insight, prominent figures gain promotion, those seeking profit gain wealth, heroes gain fame, the drunkard gains vitality, the sick gain lightness of body, the poor gain relief, and those in lawsuits gain reconciliation.
