Dreaming of an airplane

Meaning and interpretation

What does dreaming of an airplane mean?

Dreaming of a plane often points to ambitions, big changes and a wish to escape. A plane takes you far and high, fast: taking off suggests a project getting started or freedom regained; a bumpy flight or hard landing, worry about an important change. For many, it's also simply a reflection of a planned trip.

What it's often linked to

Turbulence

A rough patch in a change underway.

Flying the plane

A need to control your trajectory, or a heavy responsibility.

Landing

A project ending, a return to reality.

A plane that won't take off

A stalled project, frustration.

Questions to ask yourself when you wake up

A dream's meaning lives in your own context, not in a dictionary. These three questions get you there faster.

  1. 1

    Which project would you like to see take off?

  2. 2

    Do you want to go far away right now?

  3. 3

    Did you feel confident during the flight?

A dream predicts nothing and diagnoses nothing. If a distressing dream keeps coming back and weighs on your days, talk to a health professional.
