Case Analysis of Dreaming of Flying
[Dream Example 1]

[Dream Example 2]
Dream Description: A high school student often dreams of flying, being able to jump very high, falling slowly, and being able to do many actions in the air. Sometimes, he jumps to the rooftop of the residential building in his dream, and he feels very happy in his dream—it seems like it's always nighttime in the dream, pitch black everywhere with street lights, just like at the intersection downstairs from his home.
Dream Analysis: Many people dream of flying, and "flying" is a common dream shared by humanity, originating from ancient ancestors. It can be said that flying is a collective unconsciousness of humanity, a desire to break free from the Earth's gravity and one's own weight, and a desire for transcendent abilities. Especially among young people, dreaming of flying is more common because young people are more imaginative. Generally speaking, as people grow older and their sense of reality strengthens, flying dreams gradually change: from freely flying with open arms in childhood to light-footed jumps or ethereal floating in youth, and then to solid and heavy steps in middle age. But each individual's situation is different; some people can still dream of flying in middle age, indicating a lack of sense of reality, but people who are carefree and have a relaxed attitude may also dream of flying. Traditional Chinese medicine also believes that those with vigorous qi and blood in the upper body and active thinking are prone to dreaming of flying. Sometimes, dreaming of flying can also occur when recovering from lung disease or feeling too full after dinner. Dreaming of flying is a common dream symbol.
Jumping to a high place and flying far away is an inevitable trend of self-development, symbolizing lofty aspirations, but also indicating the existence of obstacles that need to be overcome in reality. In this dream, the key scene described by the dreamer is "playing at the intersection downstairs." Jumping onto the rooftop from the intersection represents the problems and obstacles the dreamer needs to face and overcome. Jumping at the intersection means using unrealistic methods to transcend and escape when faced with choices, but in this dream, not only flying but also jumping high, a height that ordinary people find difficult to achieve, indicating the dreamer's desire to make astonishing feats that surprise friends and relatives, fantasizing about extraordinary abilities but feeling embarrassed to tell people around—hence it happens at night when "jumping," and it's in the dreamer's own residential area.
Flying indicates grand dreams and is also a part of one's personality. The dreamer is a person with lofty goals, hoping to become strong and vigorous, with a firm will. However, because they are still very young, perhaps the preparations they make for success are not yet sufficient. Therefore, the symbol of the ideal—flying—is hidden and only appears in the darkness of dreams. This is because deep down, the dreamer still has some disbelief and is not daring enough to accept and face their own dreams. Dreaming of such scenarios often serves as a subconscious reminder and continuous encouragement for the dreamer intheir dreams. Such dreams serve as rare motivation for personal growth in life, and the dreamer will continuously strive under its guidance to ultimately achieve their life goals. Considering the dreamer's identity as a high school student preparing for the college entrance exam, it's evident that this dream is a premonition for the upcoming exam, suggesting that the dreamer will succeed in the exam.
