According to Times Now, many people have dreamt of flying, and the dream often represents a feeling of freedom, such that you have set yourself free from people, places, and experiences that may have been holding you back, or harming you in some way. To dream of soaring through the sky suggests you have taken the initiative to better your life, breaking free of everything that is unwanted.

Dreaming about flying is not at all uncommon, but according to Jeffrey Sumber, psychotherapist and author, more adult men dream of flying than any other demographic. Sumber explains to HuffPost that, "Often times, men in today's world negotiate issues regarding freedom. There is great pressure to perform at work, at home, in the bedroom, financially, athletically, socially, and more and more, emotionally. Thus, it has become fairly common for many males to confront their feelings about this pressure as well as their relationship to the underlying desire to be free, by working it out in flying dreams."
