Flying Free: Freely flying as high or as low as you wish using your arms or feet for direction, often with the ability to do acrobatics in the air is an indication that you feel really good about something in your life. You are likely very proud of an achievement at work or at home, and life is good.

Flying with Wings: The analogy to Angels and Birds is evident here. You feel that you are a strong force going into the future and that you have high principles and ethics that most mortals don't have. You feel that you have risen above the riff-raff and are soaring to new heights with a clear vision.

Flying or Floating at Low Altitudes: Floating just above the ground by flapping your hands or arms or peddling your feet is an indication that you have lots of determination and that no matter how hard it gets, you feel you will succeed if you stay on course. This dream is an indication that relief from any setbacks is imminent.

Are you stressed at work? Could this be a forewarning perceived failure, reprimand, or demotion?

Are you afraid of losing something or someone? Falling can be interpreted as a physical "letting go" in some cases. Is a child moving out of the house? Is there an imminent divorce? Are bills out of hand or bill collectors calling?

Do you feel insecure? Have you started a new job? Joined a new club? Started a new romance?

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you juggling too much in your life? Do you feel stressed, tired, helpless, hopeless, or depressed?

Has someone important disappointed you recently? Are you disappointed in yourself?

Have you made a bad business or personal decision recently? Have you or someone close to you done something that has upset your emotional equilibrium? Has a spouse, friend, or significant other lied, cheated, or disappointed you in some way? Have you done any of these things yourself?

Is there something physical in your environment that needs your attention? Is there a broken step, loose hand-rail, or wobbly chair in the house? Is there an "accident waiting to happen" somewhere in your environment?

Dreams of being lost?

Is everything okay in your professional life? Are you where you believe you should be? Is there some threat to your position or authority at work? Is a boss or co-worker overbearing or burdensome? Do you feel you are not doing as good a job as you can?

Are you getting enough sleep at night, taking medications, not feeling well? Often, when we feel fuzzy or not 100 percent during the day, that fogginess will carry over into our dreams and manifest in this very type of dream, indicating that we are not thinking clearly and we know it on a subconscious level.

Are you avoiding something? Although being lost or not being able to find something can be very frustrating, it may still be less frustrating than facing what is in that classroom or job interview. Could it be that you are choosing the lesser of the two evils?

Have you lost a pet or a loved one? Obviously you feel lost and disoriented, and it manifests in your dreams.
