Flying

Quick Answer

Represents ambition, travel, spiritual elevation, or a change in circumstances.

Classical Interpretation (Ibn Sirin)

Flying in a dream often reflects the dreamer's ambitions and desires. Flying with wings indicates a journey, gaining power, or spiritual elevation. Flying without wings indicates a positive change in one's life or moving from one state to a better one. If someone falls while flying, it signifies a setback or failure to reach their goals.

Quranic Context
"Do they not see the birds controlled in the atmosphere of the sky? None holds them up except Allah. (Quran 16:79)"

Note: According to the Sunnah, a good dream is from Allah and should only be shared with those you love. A bad dream is from Shaytan; seek refuge in Allah from it, spit drily to your left three times, and do not mention it to anyone. Dreams are subjective and should not be used to make definitive religious rulings.
