Take to the ceiling!


Very often I dream. Very often, I remember most, if not all, of the dream.

Last night I dreamt. All day today, I have been remembering different parts of the dream at different times of the day. Different scenes have been coming back to me on and off throughout the day.

Tonight, I can’t remember much of it at all!

The main part I can remember vividly. The flying part. I very often find myself flying in dreams.

The hazy part is a corridor – an intersection of corridors, actually, where there is a huge gathering of people for some reason. A little like a busy crossroads, if you like, only with less organisation.

I have to get from one end of the corridor to the other for some reason in the dream. Due to the mass gathering of slow moving people, I have to fly over their heads.

Normally, my flying dreams involve me taking to the skies, and soaring high above the town and or countryside in all weathers. I think last night’s dream was the first where I flew indoors.

I remember having a little bit of banter with the people I was flying over – only light hearted chit chat, nothing too serious or heavy. I can only remember the feeling of the conversations, not the conversations themselves.

I can also remember the feeling of urgency for me to get to the other end of the corridor, but I do not remember why it was so urgent.

I can remember the faces of the people I was bantering with – familiar faces, friendly faces, with a feeling that I knew them really well, but I can not remember who they were.

I can remember the corridor being dark, but naturally lit – not artificial lighting – the intersection was particularly brighter than the other parts of the corridor, which is probably the reason why I can remember more of the people (whoever they were!) as I flew over them at the intersection.

If flying is an interpretation of freedom, what does flying indoors indicate?

Could the crowd, the walls and ceiling, the darkness and the urgency, and the intersection have a more deep meaning than just being the latest setting for my flying dreams? Could there be something (or someone?) preventing me from flying higher?

My mind, I think, is trying to get a message to me. All I need to do now is try to interpret what I’m being told. I’ll keep an open eye for any other clues over the next few days, and an open mind for any further dreams.

You never know… soon, I may be flying without any ‘restraints’ at all…

    Sounds good Tom! 🙂

    I dream of flying, but when I look down I’m a giant in a small world – weird huh?

    What gets me is that it’s in full colour and very detailed, so when I wake it is as real as life and it takes me a few seconds to realise it was just a dream…

    God Bless!

      Not weird at all, Prenin!
      I dream in colour, and my dreams are vivid too. Sometimes, I have to concentrate when I’m awake to make sure I’m not dreaming, my dreams are that vivid. That’s an odd feeling! 😀

    If I could remember my dreams, I hope I’d be flying in a few of them. 🙂

      Andra, I hope you manage to remember some of your dreams. The flying ones, especially, are amazing! 🙂

    Very cool dream! I love my flying dreams; the colours always seem super-vivid, much more so than regular dreams. Maybe that’s my inner super-hero vision. 🙂

    Could your dream have to do with decision-making? Travelling darkened corridors toward an important (brightly-lit) crossroads? Just a thought. Happy dreams!

      Hi Diane, it could indicate a decision needing to be made, or – possibly – as I didn’t get to where I needed to urgently get to in the dream, something preventing me from making a decision… although I can’t think of any decisions I need to make right now, which seems like a good enough block as any! 🙂

    Flying in dreams is said to indicate happiness. Are you happy? Are you happy indoors?

      I’m happy everywhere, Tilly, although I wasn’t particularly keen in the cold last night. I was happy again when I defrosted, though! 😀 (Maybe that’s why I have so many flying dreams?)

    I am thinking the urgency thing could be the 1642 Quest…? Flying indoors is something I have not ever done in my flying dreams either. There is something meaningful there, as are all the people, people you know for sure. I have been told that feelings during the dream are very important as are impressions when awakening.
    It is frustrating to me when dreams are remembered by bits and pieces, little fragmented puzzles with questions. Hmmm Wish I could help you here. 🙂

      I’m wondering about my quest, Raven. I’ve said to myself that I have no rush to find the link, yet, on the other hand, I really do want to find out what draws me to the year. Not only that, but I see references to the year 1642 every day, even when I’m not researching into it!
      Knowing the people seems important to me too, but odd that I can’t remember who they were…
      And thank you for your comment – you have helped, by the way! 😀

    Just a quick run through the dream is not particularly difficult…Flying is freedom and having risen above something. The people you do not recognize are the characteristics within yourself you need to reveal or face. The corridor is transition. Combined with flying and the unknown people, it is most likely emotional growth or a yet to be revealed opportunity. The ceiling is a self-imposed limit.

    It all seems to fit together.

      I think you’ve nailed it, Red. I’m pretty sure this dream and the one following are all about growth, or the need for it. Tom – I think you are on the cusp of something amazing.

      Thank you, Red, this interpretation makes perfect sense to me, and I like the sound of a yet to be revealed opportunity! I always put a limit on to what I can do… maybe the changes are to do with me expanding my boundaries slightly (or greatly?)!
