Over the last few weeks I have been undergoing a bit of change. I have moved out of the apartment I have been in for the last 3.5 years with a guy I have lived with for close on 5 years. It signals the start of a new and exciting journey. But I move on with an element of sadness. The last five years have been good fun, conflict free and most of all I have a close friend for life. 

But in this new journey there is a renewed sense of excitement and a genuine belief that things are starting to fall in to place. Not that I have ever had a ‘plan’, but it all feels right.

I am not sure if it is related in any way, but I have started having more vivid and lucid dreams. One recurring theme is the ability to fly. So real are these dreams that I often wake up disappointed that I cannot in fact fly.

The themes of the dreams vary and are often quite complex and extravagant. But they all have this one common theme which is the ability to fly places. Oddly, no one else is flying nor are they at all shocked that I have this skill.

In a bid to get a better understanding of what this could mean, I started to do some research. There are so many websites that have different takes on what a dream means, but most seem to carry a common theme or thread.

The flying dream seems to suggests that you are on top of a situation. It may also mean that you have gained a new and different perspective on things. It also depicts freedom or liberation from things that have been a source of control.

On the flip side, there is an ancient Greek myth of Icarus, which warned against flying too high. So it is also possible that the dream is representative of being over ambitious.

It is interesting that all this is going on in my subconscious. I have never been a big dreamer, but I believe that when you do dream and are able to remember, that it is worth getting a better understanding of what it means. If for no other reason than to stay in touch with your subconscious.
