Ufo Dream Interpretation: Insights from 12 Unique Sources

Dreaming Lens: Were you watching a UFO in the sky? Did it land? Were you abducted? Did you go willingly? Was there a sense of threat and danger? Did the presence of the UFO portend good or evil?

Personal Focus: Much time has passed since the UFO craze swept across our consciousness. Since then, the term Unidentified Flying Object has permanently entered our cosmopolitan vocabulary. For the sake of defining this term, UFO is referring to any extraterrestrial mechanism of travel as it may appear in a dream, no matter how fantastic or out of the realm of possibility it may appear to be.

As with any mode of transportation, the essential meaning must connect to your path in life. Clearly, if you are traveling through outer space or being visited by beings from outer space, you are dreaming of some deviation from your more grounded life on Earth and your interpretation should incorporate some sense of this atypical, expansive exploration.

Typically, this image in a dream will spark either fear or fascination or some combination of both. Your reactions to your UFO dream experience will inform you of your emotional relationship with esoteric elements of spirituality that the dream is trying to express. Being abducted adds a shade of meaning that connects to expanding processes of thought that may be occurring in your unconscious whether you want them to or not. If this is the case, look to your present circumstances where you may be feeling forced to think way outside of your usual thought paradigms. If you were not abducted but were actually proactive and perhaps even motivated to go with the aliens, this may indicate a readiness to explore new intellectual territory in some area of your waking-life.

Seeing a UFO from the ground could be a precursor to new, higher levels of consciousness that are making themselves known to you before they fully arrive. Your emotional reaction to what you see in your dream will illuminate for you how open or resistant you are at this time to the inevitable expansion of consciousness that comes when you step onto any path of self-investigation.

The circle, the light, the shape of the cross and the big man, are all symbols of the Self. Our mind has the ability to view our experience as a whole, rather than in pans. What we sense unconsciously in this way is presented to the conscious mind as images such as UFOs or circles of light.

The ball of light or fire, this is a common waking experi­ence as well as a dream image, which occurs when the person touches their sense of wholeness as described above. We see this mentioned in the description of Pentecost—the flame on top of the head—and may account for cases of people seeing flying saucers.

See hallucinations, hallucinogens; satellite; dream as spiritual guide; unconscious.

An unexplored, unrecognized, or unexpected aspect of yourself, brought out by a specific situation or relationship.

Possibly an alternative flying dream, especially if the ground is seen from the 11 ()’s perspective, or if you are inside the UFO.

A potential abduction memory. Many people claim to have been taken aboard UFOs for examination and experimentation, and often remember these experiences through dreams. Tremendous caution is issued here—the amount of public attention given to this topic can create false impressions that leak into the conscious mind during sleep.

A message from the Universal Mind, often pertaining to brotherhood and oneness among all Earths people. Look to the rest of the dream for more insight.
