It’s nothing scary but the type of dream occurs so much that I kinda want to know what it means.
I keep dreaming I can fly but very badly whilst being chased either by a gang of guys or by my mother. I fly like a bird just flapping my arms and lifting off and after that gliding. The problem is that I loose altitude very fast like I don’t have any control. I never drop on the ground but sometimes I have to flap my arms really really hard to keep gaining altitude. The impared flying skills combined with being chased for some reason makes the dream really intens.
I’ve dreamed that I could fly before but it’s clear that these aspects keep returning. Me flying like a woonded bird… and I’m always being chased and that’s the whole reason I am flying because when I land the ones who are chasing me catch up with me so I have to keep moving. It’s kinda exhausting in the dream. The landscape is mostly the town where I live… Amsterdam but sometimes also open fields covering great distances.
I’m sure this is not an unnusual dream for you guys but the fact that it’s a recurring dream and seemingly the only one I remember for a long time now… made me post it here anyway in the hope that you can give me a good explenation.
I interpret this as… your flying represents your power and freedom. Maybe your family, friends, society, or situation (maybe a combination of these things) is hurting your confidence in waking life?
I think it’s just a common problem with nightmares. So it’s good you’re here… When you learn how to LD then you can resolve your problem… Many people have the same problem when it comes to nightmare’s, because they appear over and over again until you menage to turn a nightmare to just another normal dream, and by normal I mean a dream where you can enjoy and not be afraid…
Well yes I am not allowed to work at all because I’m diagnosed with autism. But I’m perfectly healthy and even when I want to work I’m having a hard time getting work cause the government doesn’t allow me. Kinda feel trapped there.
Another thing is that I have a problem with my mother who I love very much and is a good person but treats me in a way that is hurting my selfconfidence and it still hurts me even though I’m 30 years old now. She often doesn’t realize she hurts me with her acting/words and that’s even more frustrating cause I find it very hard to explain fight situations probably cause I always get emotional when I’m in a fight and memory gets more blurry and onesided. I also feel rapped there like I have to escape from my mother in order to grow up.
Another thing is professional poker. Because I’m not allowed to work I resorted to alternatives and I already knew I was a good poker player so I persuid poker as a professional carreer. Even though I started really good turning 180 dollars into 3500 dollars over a period of 3 weeks… After that I kept loosing to bad beats for a significant amount of time… about 3 months and lost everything. This definatelly was a slap in the face and made me switch from feeling on top of the world with financial problems solved and no care in the world to… Destroyed and beaten and feeling worse than before I started. This also made me feel more trapped.
I’m guessing it has to be a combination of those things.
Furthermore I’d like to add that I didn’;t experience the dream as a nightmare. Allthough it was intens to be chased whilst not being able to fly effective. It was rather an awesome experience than a nightmare.
