In The Air Dream Interpretation: Insights from 1 Unique Sources

Dreams of hot-air balloons indicate a desire to rise above mundane or worldly responsibilities. They can also represent a new sense of direction and purpose, symbolized by the fire lifting the balloon into the air; a note of caution must be sounded, however, as the fire needs to be attended to if it is to stay alight and keep everyone lifted. Flying in a hang-glider shares some of the exhilaration of flying unaided.

According to Freudians, if the hang-glider is launched from a cliff or mountain it suggests the sexual act.

If you find yourself flying in a bed, car, chair or any other kind of inappropriate vehicle, this suggests a desire for the type of adventure that is not too radical a break from the familiar.

If you are flying in a bicycle, this may recall the image of Spielberg’s famous film ET, and express a desire to find refuge, security or to go home.

If you are flying a kite, this suggests a sense of freedom that is enjoyed with both feet firmly on the ground. The kite may also represent an ambitious and risky project that is clouded by uncertainties.
