Dreaming about flying means you’ve been feeling happy, uplifted, and motivated lately. Dreams about flying can be a symbol for literally feeling as though you’re on top of the world. Maybe you’ve recently fallen in love and the excitement of a budding romance makes you feel as if you’re floating on a cloud. Perhaps a recent accomplishment at work or school has made you feel as though you’ve literally reached new heights.

Ascending to greater heights is a symbol for reaching your goals, and the confidence and pride you feel as a result of your achievements can influence your mood in your dreams as well as in your waking life. You might have a dream about flying after achieving a goal like getting a promotion or reaching your goal weight. Believing in yourself can make you feel like anything is possible, and this confidence can even lead to fantastical flights of fancy in your dreams.
