Dreaming of an airplane
Meaning and interpretation
What does dreaming of an airplane mean?
Dreaming of a plane often points to ambitions, big changes and a wish to escape. A plane takes you far and high, fast: taking off suggests a project getting started or freedom regained; a bumpy flight or hard landing, worry about an important change. For many, it's also simply a reflection of a planned trip.
What it's often linked to
Ambition. A project gaining altitude, a career taking off.
Escape. The urge to go far, for a change of scene.
Trust. On a plane you don't fly it: you have to let go.
Depending on what happens in the dream
Takeoff
A fresh start, a project launching.
Turbulence
A rough patch in a change underway.
Flying the plane
A need to control your trajectory, or a heavy responsibility.
Landing
A project ending, a return to reality.
A plane that won't take off
A stalled project, frustration.
Questions to ask yourself when you wake up
A dream's meaning lives in your own context, not in a dictionary. These three questions get you there faster.
- 1
Which project would you like to see take off?
- 2
Do you want to go far away right now?
- 3
Did you feel confident during the flight?
A dream predicts nothing and diagnoses nothing. If a distressing dream keeps coming back and weighs on your days, talk to a health professional.
