You wake up and realise\u2026 it was just a dream.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*cue Nelly*<\/p>\n<p>\n<div class=\"nova-lazyload-image-wrapper lz-cont\">\n  <img src=https:\/\/cms.smooth.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/nellygif_0.gif style=\"width: 811px; height: 456px;\" class=\"media-element file-media-original\" delta=\"1\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/>\n  <noscript><img src=https:\/\/cms.smooth.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/nellygif_0.gif style=\"width: 811px; height: 456px;\" class=\"media-element file-media-original\" delta=\"1\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" ><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve all felt the supernatural thrill of our mind flying us up, up, and away at bedtime. But what is our unconscious mind telling us about our hidden desires (other than the wish for wings) when we have these dreams?<\/p>\n<p>Many psychologists say analysing common dream themes, like flying, can serve as a roadmap to navigating our anxieties, hopes and fears.<\/p>\n<p>So without further ado, here\u2019s a few reasons why you MIGHT be floating through the skies in your after hours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. You\u2019re trying to escape from something<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What is it, you ask? Well, that\u2019s for you to find out, dreamer. Some analogies say dreams of flight are a sure indicator that you feel overwhelmed in everyday life and need to escape\u2026 QUICK! The question you need to consider is: do you feel stressed or overwhelmed? Take some time to relax.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. You are super, super ambitious<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s nothing wrong with that! Flying in some dream books symbolises the dreamer\u2019s ambition to \u2018fly higher\u2019 in life, and can be an indicator of fulfilment and success. Flying dreams are generally a wakeup call to the dreamer, and could also mean that you\u2019re pushing yourself too hard to achieve the impossible (i.e. flying\u2026 duh). I mean, is Icarus ringing any alarm bells?!<\/p>\n<p>\n<div class=\"nova-lazyload-image-wrapper lz-cont\">\n  <img src=https:\/\/cms.smooth.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/summerfly.gif style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\" class=\"media-element file-media-original\" delta=\"2\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/>\n  <noscript><img src=https:\/\/cms.smooth.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/summerfly.gif style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\" class=\"media-element file-media-original\" delta=\"2\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" ><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. You feel content and relaxed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your flying dream is more of a casual-floating-along dream, analysts reckon you\u2019re doing pretty good at life. These sort of tranquil dreamscapes are typically interpreted to mean that there is a range of freedoms and possibilities in your life at the moment, and you should just sit back, relax, and let the world be your oyster.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. You need to try a different outlook<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Flying along with a birds-eye view of your environment can mean you\u2019re looking for a new perspective on something. What\u2019s on your mind? This type of dream is about thinking outside the box to solve a problem or issue that might be bugging you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. You\u2019re feeling restricted and need momentum<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It could be at work, home or in love \u2013 but you\u2019re stuck. Your subconscious mind is flying you away from the downward draft at sleep time, but you\u2019re the only one who can do it in the light. Some dreams of flying can highlight an experience of being stifled that the dreamer may not yet be aware of. In almost every cultural analysis, flying represents a release from the restriction.<\/p>\n<p>Whichever one it is, keep dreaming folks.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image: Getty, Giphy<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The guru is in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":994,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[201],"tags":[],"geo_market":[],"class_list":["post-39017","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
