Flying

The other night I dreamed I was flying. I hadn't had a dream like that in a while. When I was younger, I constantly dreampt I was flying. It was and still is the most exhilarating sensation one can feel. If a human could fly, this is what it would feel like, I’m sure of that.

First, I felt myself softly get lifted off the ground, my arms opened wide. I was floating on air like a feather. I felt a bit like swimming under water. Then I looked down and started seeing the trees and roads becoming smaller and smaller. Suddenly, I was up their with the birds. I felt like one of them, I felt I was silently communicating with them, in a way only those who can fly can communicate. I was one of them. I felt the wind caressing my hair and face; it was a delicate wind that was also guiding me towards the north. I looked down and there was a bridge underneath me. A bridge I usually go through by car. Now I was flying over it. What an amazing feeling. There is no other sensation that compares to this, nothing I can feel when I’m awake can equal the feeling of freely floating on air.

A funny thing about these dreams is that I always remember lifting off the ground, but never remember landing.

The sky may symbolise consciousness and spirituality so to dream of flying can represent the expansion of your awareness and the unfolding of your higher self ...read more
