Why do you dream of levitation - 19 interpretations from different dream books

Who had the dream

To a woman

Levitation in a woman’s dream means that you can immerse yourself in a new relationship too deeply and not notice the obvious things around you. When the realization comes that the novel is actually not so wonderful, it can break morally.

To a man

If you had to levitate in a dream, you will have to take responsibility for your actions, but you will avoid this in every possible way. If you do not accept what is destined by fate, life can go downhill.

Pregnant

For a pregnant girl, levitation in a dream is a sign that she will worry about whether she can become a good mother for her unborn child and whether she will make him happy.

What if you dream about levitation?

Levitating in a dream is a common phenomenon. Its main interpretation is that a person who sees his flight in a dream grows. But why then do adults fly in their dreams? Even older people often have such dreams.

Dream levitation means more than just body growth. From a physiological point of view, such a dream means the hidden activity of the subconscious, an attempt to rise above the material. Children often fly in their sleep due to the fact that their brain is actively developing; flows of new information create a load, from which the subconscious “flies away”. In adult life, the activity of such processes weakens and such dreams occur less frequently.

Where they levitated in a dream

Above the ground

Levitating above the ground means you should prepare for the fact that at the workplace the team will discuss the dreamer’s personal life in every possible way. Don't take their words seriously and try not to pay attention to envious people.

In room

Levitating indoors in a dream means times will come when you need to be alone with yourself and reflect on your own life. Conduct a thorough analysis of your own personality and do not think about loneliness, rather use these moments to your advantage.

Over people

According to Miller’s dream book, if you happen to levitate over people, your health may weaken in the near future, which will significantly affect future plans.

Above the clouds

According to Sigmund Freud’s dream book, levitating above the clouds in a dream means that the dreamer’s next marriage will not bring happiness to anyone in this union. Constant quarrels and showdowns will only worsen the overall situation.

Above the city

The Wanderer's Book of Dreams says: constant failures can lead to the dreamer completely withdrawing into himself and plunging into deep depression, from which his closest friends will pull him out.

Above the forest

Levitating over the forest - at this stage of life it will be difficult to make a large purchase or purchase real estate, as unforeseen difficulties related to finances will arise, which will extremely upset the dreamer.

Above the road

According to Miller’s dream book, if you levitated over the road in a dream, you may want to go on a trip away from home and leave yourself to nature, enjoy every moment outside of a boring environment and completely reboot your mind.

Above the water

According to Vanga’s dream book, levitating above the water means a person will appear in your social circle who will try in every possible way to humiliate the dreamer in public and jeopardize his reputation.

Over the mountains

According to Miller's book of dreams, if you levitate over the mountains, any obstacles on the way will be overcome thanks to the strength and perseverance of the dreamer, as well as his desire to fight for his happiness.

What does it portend?

In a good situation, such a dream foretells success both in career and on the personal front. It is very important to remember this dream and project the feeling of the experienced flight into real life. This will make you feel as if all the assigned tasks are being completed easily and naturally, as if on the fly.

But falling in a dream can be considered a negative sign. The subconscious is trying to convey that some processes are not going as they should. You should think carefully about such a dream and identify the problem. It is possible that the life line on which the dreamer is located is full of hidden dangers and risks. You definitely need to pay attention to such a dream.

One way or another, seeing levitation in a dream is an unforgettable experience that should be kept in memory.

All people from time to time have vivid, fantastic dreams in which they easily overcome the force of gravity. Emotionally, this is always accompanied by a feeling of unprecedented lightness, joy, and boundless freedom. You can soar over familiar streets and rooftops, you can look into your neighbors’ windows, or you can rush at full speed into the vastness of nature and endless seas, and even, rising above the earth’s atmosphere, see the crystalline shine of the stars. Where do we have such strength? Where does this calmness and unshakable confidence come from that this is exactly how it should be? In fact, philosophers and scientists, psychologists and doctors have been asking this question for many decades. Representatives of each profession have developed their own hypotheses to explain this phenomenon, and, to put it mildly, they call into question rather than complement each other. Let's try to understand each point of view, choose one or several at once, and maybe put forward a new theory.

Metaphysical explanation

Of course, this is one of the most common versions: our astral body, or spiritual essence, leaves a soundly sleeping body and goes to wander - both in the real world and in neighboring dimensions or times. Most southern peoples are still sure that when a child is sleeping, you cannot close the window - otherwise his soul will not be able to return, and the baby will never wake up. Practice shows that the window has no effect on children, but superstition is difficult to fight. According to occultists, flying in a dream is a conscious choice of the astral body, which is why they are so easy and know no restrictions. Returning after wanderings to a warm bed, it seems to us that we were just sleeping. Sometimes, however, things don’t turn out as rosy as you would like: you can fly, but then you start to lose altitude and eventually fall. Following this, you usually wake up - this means that the physical body has “pulled” the spiritual essence with it.

Psychological explanation

The “fathers” of psychology viewed flights in dreams from different angles: Sigmund Freud (as always) associated them with sexual desires, Alfred Adler explained such a “rise” above the world with the desire to suppress others, but, nevertheless, most modern researchers support the point of view Carl Jung - he considered night flights to be a desire to free oneself from restrictions and break the boundaries of conventions. Flight is not only liberation from certain addictions, a break from pressing everyday problems, but also a desire for spiritual growth, as well as a subconscious decision not to complicate your life and look at things more simply. Thus, waking up after a night of adventure, people sometimes realize that the difficult or unpleasant situation that tormented them the day before is not worth their attention or is under control.

If during such a dream a person is afraid of the flight itself, or is not sure that he will be able to land, or he is frightened by the limitlessness of freedom that has fallen on his head and the possibility of getting lost, this is a sign that, with all the desire for independence, it is not yet part of his comfort zone , or he is afraid of losing what he has already created and controls. And the unexpected inclusion of gravitational forces into the “game”, causing one to literally fall from heaven, signals a chronic increase in the level of stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, giving in to difficulties, loss of control over oneself, and a readiness to give up a goal or dream. Depending on the specific circumstances, a fall can be interpreted in different ways: the greater the height a person falls from, the worse the problem. But it also happens that a person, albeit involuntarily, lands in the middle of some piece of paradise, feeling absolutely happy - in this case he has no psychological problems, rather he is absolutely satisfied with his life and surroundings, and does not need new horizons.

Biological explanation

It is often said that flying in a dream means that children are growing up. There is a lot of truth in this: dreams of levitation appear at a time when the body secretes a hormone responsible for the growth of bones and skin cells. This applies not only to children and adolescents, but also to adults no less.

Walking on clouds also precedes the successful recovery of sick or weakened people. And another experiment showed that a person dreams about flying after the initially difficult breathing is “freed.” So, if you cover a sleeping person with a blanket over his head and then remove it, when he wakes up, the person reports that he has “just arrived from the airfield.” You might as well fall asleep in a stuffy room and then get a dose of oxygen from someone’s open window.

Anthropological explanation

Now we ask all sensible people to be in a peaceful mood, not to stomp their feet and not to tear out their hair - let's be lenient towards Darwinian views - at least in order to be able to refute them. So, ethology specialists who study the hereditary forms of animal behavior believe that flying in a dream is a manifestation of an ancient genetic program in the memory of mankind. It seems to be an interesting point of view that should be developed (which we will do a little later), but ethologists associate the process of human evolution with primates, and therefore their conclusions are “original”. Allegedly, 25 million years ago, the common ancestor of humans and monkeys had perfect brachiation - that is, they were able to swing on their arms and jump from tree to tree, as gibbons do today. Modern man has only retained from this program a detached thumb for grasping branches, a grasping reflex (in infants), the ability to climb trees, dreams of flying and a love for... swings.

For those who have already finished laughing, we offer an alternative, albeit still anthropological, explanation. Of course, in some ways primates are similar to us - but in fact, dolphins have much more in common with humans. They have a complex social and family structure, different types of mutual assistance, joint hunting, a complex language - or rather, languages: they are different for each population of dolphins, but still allow unrelated clans to understand each other. At birth, dolphins even receive names from their mothers that they respond to throughout their lives! And of course, they are completely open to people and are always ready to communicate. There is a group of scientists who believe that man came out of the water - he once lived in the coastal zones of the ocean, but sometimes also made his way to the surface of the earth. Scientists explain the grasping reflex in children by the fact that newborns held on to their parents’ hair to stay on the surface (that’s why we have long hair, but monkeys don’t). From the first days of life, people know how to dive and swim, and the cradle and swing only replace the waves that once rocked us.

Alternative explanation

Yet neither option explains the ability to fly. In a dream, we do not jump from branch to branch in search of a banana, and we do not jump out of the water like dolphins. We levitate - high above the ground, the trees, the whole world. We are like birds - but we do not flap our wings. We control our movements, acutely aware of our arms, legs, and entire body. In fact, we even experience gravity - as we perform various pirouettes and somersaults, we feel how our blood pressure changes inside us. So how can a being who has never experienced such an experience have such accurate sensations? Here the theory of changes in the earth's climate over millions of years already suggests itself. The fact that the Earth was inhabited by giants (the same dinosaurs, huge beetles) is definitely related to the much higher oxygen content in the air. But whether our atmosphere was ever so dense that one could levitate in it is just a guess. They even say that the huge Atlanteans had this ability. As Socrates said, “I know that I know nothing” - of course, except that there is no smoke without fire, and such “memories” do not come from nothing.

PS

- Oh, how much white envy there was for Alexander Belyaev’s “Ariel”, who mastered levitation in reality! However, if you believe various sources, some people in the past also managed to overcome the force of gravity - monks, yogis... And today people have already learned to use the power of magnets - in advanced countries trains are racing on air cushions, lamps and sofas are floating in the air, and recently scientists have succeeded even lift a toad into the air :) Since the planet is the strongest magnet, a person, with the help of nanorobots, will also be able to fly one day, and not only in a dream. Wouldn't that be wonderful? :)))

Why humans are not destined to soar like birds

It is believed that people with superpowers have a similar talent to “fly”. But physicists say: although from a scientific point of view there is nothing unusual in levitation, it is inaccessible to humans. At least for now.

From Newton to Einstein

From science fiction literature and cinema, we gleaned information that spontaneous flights of heroes over short distances are possible. However, in life we ​​cannot fly without the help of technology. There are several reasons for this. The main obstacle is the laws of physics. In particular, gravity, or universal gravitation, discovered by Isaac Newton (remember the textbook story with the apple?). Gravitational interactions are described in more detail by Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, and at the present stage, quantum theory is also under development.

In the scientific interpretation, levitation (from the Latin levitas “lightness, lightness”) is the overcoming of gravity without additional devices, in which an object floats freely in space without touching the surface. Moreover, the process accomplished by repulsion of air (as in birds, insects and bats) is not considered levitation. It requires the presence of a force that compensates for the force of gravity. For example, a rarefied atmosphere.

Like a pillar pressing

A person's weight depends on the gravitational force of the planet. Once on the Sun, a 65-kilogram earthling will “weigh” about 1800 kilograms, on Jupiter - 153 kilograms. It’s easy to appear “slim” on Mercury and Mars, where 65 Earth kilograms will feel like 24.5, and on Pluto it will feel like just over 4 kilograms. Supposedly, if a person tries to jump there, he will fly into the air effortlessly. But this is in theory. And people were able to understand what everything looks like in practice only after visiting our natural satellite (by the way, there the weight decreases from 65 kilograms to 10.7).

Lunar grasshoppers

In 1969, the Apollo 11 crew landed on the Moon. When Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldgreen climbed out of the descent module and jumped slightly, they suddenly soared up almost two meters. Moreover, there were difficulties with the descent. They were constantly being pulled to the side (as if blown away by the wind, although there is no trace of it on the Moon), and the landing on the Moon happened as if in slow motion. And only thanks to the fact that Neil and Edwin are men, quite physically developed, they managed to maintain their balance without hanging upside down. Scientists have come to the conclusion that the problem is not only the low force of gravity, but also the very rarefied atmosphere of the Moon, which is ten trillion times less dense than the earth’s. It turns out that the Moon is the very (so far the only) place where levitation is possible for us?

Legends are intriguing

One of the interesting theories suggests that our distant ancestors knew the secrets of moving through the air. Images reminiscent of modern aircraft decorate the frieze above the entrance to the temple of the Egyptian pharaoh Seti I in Abydos. But at the time the picture was discovered in 1848, scientists had no idea what it was. After all, the simplest model of the Wright brothers' airplane, which made stable horizontal flight, appeared only in 1903. And if such miracles take place, why not believe that ancient people (for example, the inhabitants of mythical Lemuria) knew how to levitate? By the way, this is a fairly common theory among esotericists.

Knowledge about “how it works” is supposedly stored for the time being in the secret parts of our brain. Indeed, anyone at least once dreamed that he was moving freely through the air. They say that in this way genetic memory sends us signals. But scientists doubt it. Among other things, the atmosphere on the planet was formed long before the appearance of people, and even more so of Homo sapiens - Homo sapiens. And its density in no way allows us to simply soar into the air “with a vertical takeoff” - the laws of physics are the same now as they were millions of years ago.

Attention, acoustician!

With the development of science, it became clear that the sources of forces that compensate for the force of attraction can be gas jets, laser beams, and a magnetic field (the so-called Meissner effect). By the way, it is the latter that scientists tend to explain some legendary cases. For example, according to legend, the coffin with the body of the Prophet Mohammed hung in space without any support. Without touching on the religious aspect, according to scientists, this is evidence of the presence of powerful magnets repelled by a superconductor (possibly a very cooled ceramic plate). At least a laboratory experiment in which a small magnet levitates above a surface frozen with liquid nitrogen confirmed this version and is now known as the “Coffin of Mohammed.”

A relatively new direction is acoustic levitation (stable position of an object in a standing acoustic wave). Recently, physicists at the University of Bristol created a new type of device (called an acoustic trap) using a combination of two sound vortices. Previously, this only worked for particles a few millimeters in size. Now, researchers have been able to hold a 1.6-centimeter polystyrene ball and even make it rotate at a given speed. An article describing the development was published in the journal Physical Review Letters. Scientists are confident that acoustic levitation has good prospects. For example, in medicine, it can be used to remove kidney stones or transport medications inside the body. Science is developing rapidly, and all this is already technology of the near future. However, there is no talk of human levitation even in the future. As Maxim Gorky said: “Those born to crawl cannot fly!” Although why think ahead...

COMPETENTLY

Yuri Kurochkin, Head of the Center for Theoretical Physics at the B.I. Institute of Physics Stepanova NAS Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences:

There is nothing surprising about levitation as a physical phenomenon. However, I note: in order to make some conditional object float, you need to create certain conditions. For example, using superconductivity (the property of some materials to have strictly zero electrical resistance when they reach a temperature below a certain value), you can make a magnet hang in the air.

But with regard to spontaneous human flights (that is, you suddenly took off and soared without the help of any devices), there are well-founded doubts. Of course, there are different views on this issue, in particular among mystics. There are also still difficult to explain phenomena associated with various eastern practices, for example, yoga. But as a physicist and a person with a materialistic position, I don’t believe in such miracles without scientific justification. People themselves can only fly in their dreams. But this cannot be called a serious experiment that proves something.

CURIOUS

In the mid-19th century, mediums were very popular in high society. The Scot Daniel Hume became the most famous. His admirers included Napoleon III, Alexander II, Kaiser Wilhelm I and Arthur Conan Doyle. Hume’s “crown number” was levitation. He rose into the air indoors to a height of several meters, and once even managed to fly out the window and fly back. Moreover, Hume, who invited independent observers to his sessions (among them were famous physicists Oliver Lodge, William Crookes and William Barrett), was never convicted of fraud. The question of how he managed to levitate remained open.

In their dreams, people can do whatever they want, even fly. In the real world, not one person can fly into the sky like a bird. But who can forbid this in the world of dreams? Of course, no one. This article will talk about why you have to fly in a dream.

In their dreams, people can do whatever they want, even fly

The dream book offers the following meanings for the image of flight in dreams.

1. If a person had to fly like a bird, he will overcome all the difficulties that arise along the way. Success in all endeavors - this is the interpretation of this dream.
2. If a person dreamed that he had to float in the air, this means that he will feel the taste of freedom in reality. Such dreams are often seen by people who have been deprived of freedom for some reason.
3. Soaring high above the ground in a dream and thinking: “I can fly, I am a bird” means coping with difficulties in reality.
4. To fly into the air while indoors means to subconsciously strive to escape problems. The dreamer probably feels insecure and strives to gain power and influence.
5. If a person dreams that he is flying, this means that he will soon experience a feeling of deep affection, and possibly love. However, if the dreamer did not have the delight of flying, the feelings will fade away as quickly as they flare up.
6. If the dreamer has to rise and fall without stopping in his dreams, this means that he will achieve significant results in his activities thanks to his own work and efforts.
7. The meaning of this dream for a woman is positive. It is believed that if she first flew on a hang glider, and then jumped off and flew, she would be able to cope with all the failures herself. If at first she was surrounded by people, then offers of help will come, but the dreamer will reject them and easily resolve all her problems.
8. Flying up in a room means stress and hopelessness.
9. A man flies in a helicopter over the city - good luck awaits him. He looked out the window and saw beautiful clouds there - there will be happiness in the dreamer’s life.
10. Flying in the clouds means living in harmony with yourself. Such a dream always has a positive interpretation, because the image of clouds in dreams is always associated with happiness.

Seeing someone fly means living happily. In the coming days, the dreamer will be in high spirits, he will be filled with energy and the desire to accomplish something grandiose.

Who levitated in a dream

You yourself

If you happen to levitate yourself in a dream, you will be able to express yourself in a creative path, which is completely atypical for the dreamer. A new hobby will be so captivating that a person will think about taking it up more professionally.

Friends

According to Longo’s dream book, if friends levitated, you shouldn’t count on those around you when a difficult period in life comes. These people will prove themselves and show who you can rely on in difficult times, and who was just pretending to be a friend.

Relatives

According to Loff’s book of dreams, when relatives levitated, the dreamer will have the opportunity to resolve a long-standing family conflict. Thanks to him, it will be possible to improve relationships within the family and bring them closer to each other again.

Child

If you dreamed about a child levitating, you will have to worry about someone younger than you in life.

Strangers

When strangers levitate, in the near future there may be a forced but unexpected expenditure on a certain thing that will help one of the relatives cope with certain health problems.

Items

If objects levitate, immediate situations may get out of control, since too much will fall on the dreamer’s head, and he will not be able to deal with everything on his own.

Other dream plots

Look at other options for dream plots about levitation. They will help you find an accurate interpretation of your dream.

• take off and fall - dreams of traveling;
• levitating at a moment of danger - to a series of unusual events;
• levitation in the lotus position - to the need to help a close friend;
• levitate over your body - to prosperity and higher wages.

Hidden symbolism of visions

Do not underestimate the significance of what you see in a dream, because in the vast majority of cases, even the most primitive plot carries a certain message to the dreamer. It is believed that in this way higher powers are trying to warn the sleeper about upcoming important events in his destiny, so the latter’s task is to unravel this message.

Meaning of days of the week

Of course, you may not believe in all this, but, as practice shows, many dreams still become fully or partially prophetic. Another thing is that it makes no sense to interpret their plots literally, since they all appear to the sleeper’s attention in the form of encrypted symbols. Flying over the ground in a dream is no exception to the rule, but before you begin to search for the secret meaning of this image, you should pay attention to its interpretation by day of the week:

1. Dreams that occur on Monday, as a rule, turn out to be prophetic only for birthday people.
2. If the vision came on Tuesday, then the probability of its fulfillment is quite high, and in the near future (7-10 days).
3. On Wednesday night I also have prophetic dreams.
4. Dreams on Thursday never come true.
5. Friday dreams are prophetic.
6. There is no guarantee that the Sabbath dream will come true.
7. The vision will come true, but only if the dreamer does not tell anyone about it.

Having familiarized yourself with this list and making sure that the dream is prophetic, you can proceed to its detailed interpretation. And in order to understand why you dream of flying in a dream, first of all you should familiarize yourself with the psychological meaning of this symbol.

Psychological interpretation

Unlike ancient interpreters, psychologists view the image of flight as a person’s internal desire for freedom and long-awaited deliverance from some heavy burden that has fallen on his shoulders recently. But not everything is so simple, because experts point out that the dreamer himself is not aware of these aspirations, trying all the time to run away from his problems, or puts up with the current state of affairs, stubbornly not wanting to look for a way out. That is, we are talking about an internal conflict, which is evidenced by the flight.

If the sleeper dreams that he flies from one place to another without one wing or without wings at all, then most likely he suffers from low self-esteem, afraid to show his potential. But psychologists, on the contrary, equate a flight in a hot air balloon with some kind of miracle, claiming that such images promise the sleeping person the fulfillment of his most cherished desires, and in the near future.

The exception is visions caused by the work of the human subconscious, because if a person dreams of a balloon, often thinking about it, then it is unlikely that such images should be taken literally. This also applies to any other flights dreamed of by aerophobes and agoraphobes, since in the vast majority of cases they become the result of ordinary fears.

The famous Italian psychologist Antonio Meneghetti interpreted flight in the sky a little differently. The author of numerous treatises believed that if a person managed to take off in a dream, then in reality he strives in every possible way for a higher position in society, trying to solve his pressing problems and change life circumstances that are not in the best way.

In addition, a psychologist interprets a dream in which a person was lucky enough to soar in the air, feeling all the sweetness of suddenly acquired freedom, as a sure sign that with effort, he will still be able to overcome all difficulties and adversities. In this case, the details surrounding the sleeper are of great importance (thunderclouds or snow-white clouds, sun or rain, wind, birds, rainbows, green trees below, etc.).
