Dreaming of flying: meaning in Korea
In Korean tradition, flying in a dream means rising up: success, promotion, freedom and the feeling that your plans are taking off.
What they say in Korea 하늘을 나는 꿈
In kkumhaemong, flying through the sky is one of the luckiest dreams. It is said to stand for rising above your difficulties: a promotion, a passed exam, a goal reached or recognition that puts you somewhere higher. The higher and freer you fly, the better the reading. If you soar over cities or mountains looking down on everything, it is read as a broad perspective that helps you decide clearly. If you fly with effort or fear falling, the reading speaks of ambitions that still need groundwork. In tradition, Taoist immortals and fairies, seonnyeo (선녀), traveled through the air with complete ease.
Depending on the details
if you fly very high
The most favorable version: big goals within reach, promotions or a visible success. Your confidence grows and others start to see you differently.
if you struggle to fly
Ambitions that still need a foundation. Not a bad sign: it is an invitation to prepare, learn or find support before the big leap.
if you fly with someone else
A shared project taking off, or a relationship that lifts you. It is read as a very favorable alliance, in love or at work.
And luck?
After dreaming of flying, a Korean would probably go ahead and apply for that position, or book a plane ticket.
In other traditions
In the West flying in a dream is tied to freedom, a wish to escape a situation, ambition or feeling above your problems. Flying with fear can reflect insecurity about success.
