Airplane Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 21 unique sources about Airplane

General Meaning: The vehicle for your ministry. It will be fast, effective and will reach new heights.

Dreams Positive:

As with visions, dreaming of a large jumbo jet could speak of a public ministry or, certainly an expansion into something more public.

If you are dreaming of flying the plane, this could speak of a promotion.

Negative: If you have a fear of flying, then dreaming of being in a plane could represent having to face your fears.

• Also if you dream that you are flying this plane but that you are not meant to, that someone else should be flying it, this could indicate that you are taking charge of things that are not yours to take charge of.

• In a spiritual context it could speak of you taking things out of the Lord’s hands.

The solution of course is to let go and put God back in control of your life.

Visions Positive:

I have come to see airplanes in dreams and visions as a representation of ministry.

The larger the plane, the larger the ministry.

The larger the plane, the more members and helpers are needed on board to aid the ministry.

• At one time the Lord kept showing each of the AMI Team as fighter planes flying in formation.

• A fighter plane is a weapon of war.

It is fast and effective, and if you want to find a good comparison for it in Scripture, you would use the eagle or the bird of prey as an example.

• The fighter plane speaks of a ministry of intercession and warfare. It speaks of surveying the land on behalf of the Body of Christ and overcoming the enemy in it; of going ahead and scout the area for any attacks.

• This speaks of a very aggressive ministry that is more personal in nature and will cripple the Kingdom of darkness! Consider this passage: • Speaking of War: • Jeremiah 49:22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

Universal Landscape: A very fast transition.

Dreaming Lens: Did the flight take off or land effectively, or were there problems? Did the plane crash? Did you feel safe on the plane? Were you attempting to catch a plane? Were you successful, or did you miss it? What size plane was it?

Personal Focus: Any means of transportation in a dream is synonymous with the way we move through our lives. Because of the dramatic way an airplane leaves the ground and speeds toward a destination, it is connected with any sudden transition in life. In a dream, changes of this nature can connect either to something that is taking place in your life at the moment, or to change that is needed or wished for. As a plane is our world’s fastest mode of public transportation, it connects symbolically to those moments in life where change is rapid and total.

When dreaming of plane travel, the first consideration is to look to where you are making a dramatic shift in your waking life. When you have identified this, use the Dreaming Lens to discover how you feel about the change that is afoot. If the movement of the plane makes you very anxious, you might be expressing fear over sudden changes that you perceive to be dangerous. A more relaxed or passive response to a plane in your dreams could indicate a level of acceptance, but could also signal issues of avoidance. Be vigilant in your investigation.

Missing your plane in a dream could indicate a sense that something is passing you by and may illuminate a need to take stock of how aware you are of the opportunities in your current situation. Being stuck on a plane might connect to feelings of impatience and the need to accept external limitations. Take a look at the areas in your life that are stagnant or erupting—you may need to fasten your seat belt and take off. [2]

We received an interesting amount of mail about dreams containing planes and plane crashes. It appears that people often dream about being in a plane crash, witnessing a crash, or being bombed or shot at from planes. Airplanes, like all other vehicles, symbolize a portion of your life’s journey.

The part of your life which is represented is usually a memory, material from your unconscious mind, or something that is physically far away from you. Since we use planes to travel to places that are far away, the logical progression of this interpretation is that the airplane is symbolic of an event, individuals, or emotions that are either in the past, physically apart from you, or deep in the unconscious and far from conscious thought. Disturbing dreams in which you are being bombed or where you see a bloody crash scene may be trying to bring up issues and feelings that have been buried in the unconscious mind (from the past or the present) but are still powerful and disturbing to the dreamer.

The more powerful, vivid, and disturbing this dream is, the greater the necessity to interpret and obtain a satisfactory meaning.

Example: I saw a biplane fly overhead. Its pilot was performing daring new stunts. I ran into a house to tell a man who was in bed to run out and see the plane’ (David R).

The example clearly shows one aspect of what a plane means, being daring in a new area, taking risks in life, braving a new work area or relationship. Sometimes the plane in the sky represents us feeling threatened by something new or un­known, thus one dreamer dreamt of bombs being dropped from a plane when she was offered a new job which would take her into the public eye.

The crashed plane: can be anxi­ety bringing down our ambition or adventurousness; a loss of self confidence or mental equilibrium.

The plane journey: shows a move towards independence; leaving home or friends; success. Being grounded: sense of not getting any­where and frustration.

An attacking aircraft: feeling attacked either by our own doubts and self criticism, or that of others. [4]

Dreams of an airplane represent your desire to see life from a higher view, to move out of the mundane, ego experience of life, and begin to take action to live on a higher plane. This dream could also signify that a dramatic life change is on the horizon.

If there is turbulence on the plane, this represents your control issues and that you are trying to stabilize your spiritual life, and that a deeper commitment to your spiritual practice is in order.

If the plane is still on the ground, then you are being guided to have patience.

If you are soaring through the air, then your goals are in mid flight, and you are well on your way to manifesting your souls desires. [5]

Piloting means that your destiny is under your control and that if you exercise your best judgment, you will be successful in any enterprise on which you may embark.

If difficulties arise in such a dream, be prepared to encounter them in your enterprise, but do not be daunted, for you will succeed through your determination, Indicates a successful marriage for a man.

Riding in an airplane with tbe object of your affections foretells a happy married life.

Seeing one or more airplanes is an augury of an improvement in either your financial condition or your love affairs, perhaps both. [6]

A fast way of moving around .the world, an airplane indicates global ideas or business. Usually associated with freedom, it may be a comment on the level of freedom you have attained.

A plane crash may represent the failure of a business venture. Not being able to get your plane off the ground may represent difficulties in acquinng the capital for a project. Piloting your own plane may represent the ultimate success-driven venture and may mention your need to be your own boss. [7]

An actual or imagined airplane, such as one you’ve flown on recently, expect to fly on, or heard about on the news.

A shared experience, such as an event or life experience you had in common with a group of people in which you were “all in the same boat.” For example, a sports team on an airplane that’s experiencing turbulence might represent the challenging meeting your project team had yesterday.

In your dream, a departing airplane means success; a landing aircraft warns of jealousy among your friends.

If you’re piloting the plane, you’re about to attain an achievement. However, if you are simply flying in the plane, it means that your life will soon be filled with numerous ups and downs.

An airline crash means a business failure. Surviving a plane crash means financial gains; seeing yourself killed in a crash is warning to control your passions. [9]

In general, transportation symbolizes spiritual advancement. Examine the rest of the dream and see if it does, indeed, tie-in with that interpretation.

If so, this modern, rapid form of transportation needs to be handled carefully lest it crash.

If not, then it may simply indicate rapid advancement with opportunity for self- expression, especially if you are the pilot of the plane. [10]

The true definition is found in identifing the type of plane and your personal feeling of aircraft.

If you fear air travel, dreaming of being on a passenger jet in flight is likely to be an expression of fear involved with some sort of travel. However if you LIKE to fly then this could also mean happeness. And it can also indicate a desire to rise above it all, an escape. [11]

If the plane is taking off, bright hopes for the future.

If the dreamer is on the plane while it is on the ground, a wish to attain success quickly by shaking off troublesome surroundings. In actual flight, fulfillment of desires. This is a dream of purpose wherein the dreamer gets an idea into action and succeeds, or must surmount obstacles before the completion. [12]

Airplanes in dreams may carry the same connotations as air (e.g., ideas, intellect) or simply represent flying dreams. Particularly if one is the pilot, an airplane may represent one’s body, freedom, the power to “rise above” a situation, soaring to new heights, or even escape from everyday concerns. [13]
To dream of being a pilot of an airplane points toward achievement, either in business or in one of the arts.

If you are a passenger it augurs immediate advancement in your affairs.

To fall with or from an airplane portends failure in one of your best laid plans. [14]

Any flying aircraft indicates spiritual awakening, soaring to new heights. Note whether plane is on the ground, up in the air, taking off or landing; position reflects your spiritual awareness or perception concerning a particular problem or situation. [15]
Escape from the mundane exigencies of the lower world.

Freedom.

The search for higher consciousness. Travel into the higher realms. Astrological parallels: Sagittarius or Aquarius. Tarot parallel: The World [16]

According to Freud, the plane is a phallic symbol.

It is able to rise against gravity. [17]
