flying dream
Sleep brings wings
A flying dream is a common dream experience in which the dreamer soars, floats, or glides through the air under their own power.
Often interpreted as expressing feelings of freedom, control, or escape from constraints: I had a flying dream last night and woke up feeling invincible.
The inability to fly or falling mid-flight may signal anxiety or loss of control.
