A flight in a dream can signify a number of things. One is freedom, and the need for release from whatever is holding you back. The other is that you are trying to escape something, most likely your own fears or emotional baggage.
The meanings of flights in dreams can vary depending on what is happening during the dream. If the airplane is crashing or being shot at, then this indicates that you may be feeling uncomfortable with a certain event in your life and not want to take responsibility for it.
A person may also have such dreams if they are experiencing anxiety about their future or if they’re feeling restless and unhappy with their current life situation. When this happens, the idea of flying in a dream is often seen as a way to temporarily escape from what is going on in reality.
