Dream meaning: floating away, no control, scared...

the Stuff Dreams are made of...

I’ve had these dreams every once in a while for years, since I can remember, as far as when I was a kid.

I am either speeding down a hill, building up velocity, or jumping up and down, and then suddenly, I lift off, and start floating up and away from the ground really quickly, I can’t control where I am going, and I start to float really high, sometimes kilometers into the sky, as if I was as high as an airplane. I can see everything below me, a large green pasture of grass. It’s definitely not a feeling of freedom, or elation, I feel scared, and like I have no control and want to come back down desperately, but can’t do anything about it.

I sometimes come back down, but I also don’t have control of that! I just stop rising, then it’s as if gravity came back again, and is pulling me down rapidly. I sometimes come down with a great speed, and I am afraid I am going to crash and kill myself, but then suddenly, I gently touch the ground.

Has anyone had such dreams like these before? What could possibly be the meaning of these dreams?

:welcome: gbaton to LD4all, I had problem with gravity in my dreams before I took control over it. I get shot in the air, then fell down and slammed into the ground. How to solve this problem? Try to get an LD and take off from the ground, in an LD it feels relaxing. The only way to get rid of a fear is to face it in an LD. So good luck solving this problem :cool_laugh:

I had the exact same dream last night. I have no idea what this means, or if it means anything at all. This isn’t the first time it’s happened though.

I would love to talk to you about this a little more, to see if there are any other similarities.

If anyone else has any interpretations, I’d love to hear them.

Thank you for your time.

hi. i saw this post and i immediately needed to reply to you. i have also been experiencing this same type of dream off and on for years. i wake up scared every time i have it. it’s a very unpleasant feeling. i have no clue as to what it could mean, but i just wanted you to know that i know exactly how you feel.

The only person who can interpret your dreams accurately is you, but I’ll give it a shot.

Fear and flying tends to mean you are afraid of something in your waking life. Falling means a lack of control. So, you’re afraid of something/someone and you feel like you have no control over the situation.

GHOSTIE11 was right though, flying in a LD can help solve this problem.
