10 Common Recurring Dreams and What They Mean

5. Flying

Another extremely common dream involves the ability to fly, something that humans have probably desired to do since they first saw a bird. There are, as we know, ways that we can actually fly, like taking a trip on an airplane, but it will never match that feeling of just flying on your own without the aid of a machine. Many people report that flying dreams are one of the most enjoyable dreams they can have, although there are those who also lift off the ground uncontrollably and begin soaring though the air unintentionally while dreaming, which could be frightening. Flying dreams may reflect feelings of freedom and creativity.
