Flying, Falling & Journey Dreams & Their Meanings

Movement dreams are the ones people remember for years. Flying is the classic dream of freedom and momentum; falling, its anxious twin, often arrives when something in waking life feels out of our hands. In between sit the journeys — trains, cars, lifts and stairs — dreams about how we get from where we are to where we are trying to be.

Gathered here are all the dictionary's dreams of motion: soaring, dropping, driving, riding and climbing. They tend to track your sense of control with unusual honesty, so notice the details — who was steering, how fast you were going, and whether you arrived.
