I dreamed I was flying high in the sky. What is the Islamic meaning?
Category: Dream Interpretation
Answer
Bismillah. Flying in a dream has varied interpretations depending on context: Ibn Sirin states: flying through the air smoothly and with ease may indicate elevation of status — a promotion, increased honour, or spiritual elevation. If you flew toward a known destination, it may point to achieving a goal or a journey. However, there are qualifications: • Flying very high with no control — can indicate pride (kibr) or a warning against arrogance. • Flying and falling — may indicate a drop in status or a setback. • Flying with wings (like a bird) — Ibn Sirin says this may indicate travel, and the condition of the wings affects the interpretation. Al-Nabulsi adds that for a person of religious standing, flying often relates to spiritual ascent and drawing closer to Allah. As with all dreams: the emotional state, surrounding symbols, and the character of the dreamer all affect the interpretation. Perform 2 raka'at after a dream you are unsure about, and make du'a for clarity.
