Dreaming of flying
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of Flying low and easily over the land is the dream of success and rising station.
Drawn down, it warns of Flying too high or near the sun is the old warning of Icarus, you have set your aim above your strength.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of Flying is a feeling of having transcended ordinary limits. Often it signals an inflation that's earned, real expansion.
Drawn down, it warns of Compulsive flying or flying away from a ground problem is the dreamer's avoidance pattern in air-form.
When it appears with another
Flying in company
flying + falling
Inflation and its correction in a single image. The psyche is balancing the rise with a needed humility, neither one is the whole truth.
