The Hero
Dreaming of flying: meaning and interpretation
The ego that lets go of the ground
A wish for height, freedom, or an idea of yourself that no longer touches earth.
Symbolic reading
Flying is the experience of a new point of view. It can be relief — a weight finally released — or inflation: the ego believes itself above concrete life. If the wings fail when you try to descend, the dream asks for a return, not more height.
Jungian key
Heroic flight separates the dreamer from the gravity of the everyday persona. Individuation is not staying in the sky: it is being able to rise and also to land.
Keep the height you gained, and look for the exact place where the feet are useful again.
