Common Dreams: Flying
People have
flying dreams when they need to escape the drudgery of everyday life.
Spiritually, you can fly wherever you want to; there are no obstacles in your
way. Sometimes it feels like we are taken or driven to places by another force. If you are unwell or in pain the soul can step out of the body during
sleep and experience the freedom and peacefulness of flying and take a break
from the restrictions of the body and the pain it feels.
Some people
who practise meditation regularly can induce this state and lucid dream
without a cause but you are letting go of the restrictions of the
physical body. It is the same with astral travelling; we don't seem to
have much control over when it happens or where we go, it usually occurs during meditation, deep
rest or the early or late sleep state, flying dreams are a form of astral travelling.
Everyone
has experienced a flying dream at least once in their life, you can zoom off
anywhere, the experience reminds us that our soul is free and not tied to the
earth like we sometimes feel it is, tied to the duties and restrictions that
rule our everyday life, maybe we have these dreams for this fact alone just to
remind us that we are basically free spirits, our soul or consciousness isn't completely
attached to our bodies as we believe it is. It is a way for us to understand
the freedom of our soul on another level of existence. The true meaning of
flying dreams might be for this reason alone, but they happen at times when we
need to escape the tight restrictions that our bodies or life in general puts
on us. Dreaming and sleep itself is a way to escape, rejuvenate and
recharge the batteries, without which we could not function, flying dreams take
it one step further at times when we need to experience true freedom.
Symbolically
travel and journey dreams try to describe the physical and spiritual journey we are on, the method of transport symbolising the effort/energy we need to
put into getting where we want to be. We can't always go it alone, we need
drivers or people that motivate us to move forward, we need help in the way of planes, buses, bikes, boats, cars and trains to take journeys that
require extra input to guide and carry us forward.
Going solo
or using your own efforts like walking, running or flying requires your own
will and energy to make progress, people have mentioned many times that during
flying dreams they are aware of having total control over where they fly too
and this is because ultimately we have free will, if you take away all the
earthly restrictions only you have the true say in how you move forward. There
are times in life when you must walk the road alone or make decisions by
yourself and this is when walking dreams recur.
