1. If your flying dream is a lucid dream
The flying dream could be considered as a type of lucid dream in which dreamers can take control over the settings or plot of the dream. Meanwhile, you’re actually aware that you are having a dream.
To experience the amazing rush of flying, someone might practice the art of lucid dreams. In lucid dreams, your expectations really shape the dream. Thus, if you imagine a superman in waking hours when planning your dream itinerary, then this idea will come to your mind and this will be the way you fly.

This may denote success and freedom from obstacles. In reality, you might have overcome some difficulties and obtain victory in work, finance, or relationship.

Am just curious you know, cuz no one seems to understand when I tell.

In my twenties I often dream of flying. There would be people chasing me to hurt me, like with a gun or knife and just before they get me I would be able to just rise and fly away. There was a time when I was able to see the city I flew over and the houses and cars right under me and the sky was peaceful.
When I dream I’m flying away from the demons! If I’m flying fast enough I can get away from them. Their always more of them to over power me to slow me down! If they do get me to stop. They disappear and I get to fly away again.
I’ve always dreamed of flying since 12, I’m an adult now I still do, lately I saw myself fly away from where I live for another destination because of enemies, even on my way going in the air, I still met some little girls throwing obstacles at me, but I was so powerful that I couldn’t throw them back,
But the most surprising part of the dream is that throughout the journey, a very small girl was with me flying alongside
I could throw the obstacles back to the girls
