Airplane |
To see an airplane in your dream, indicates that you will overcome your obstacles and rise above to a new level of prominence and status. You may experience a higher consciousness, new-found freedom and greater awareness.
To dream that you transfer planes, implies an important transitional phase in your life which will take you away from your intended path. Changes will occur in your life which will take you to new directions and new heights of status and recognition.
To dream that a plane crashes, suggests that you have set overly high and unrealistic goals for yourself. Your goals may be too high and are impossible to realize. You are in danger of having it come crashing down. Alternatively, your lack of confidence, self-defeating attitude and self-doubt toward the goals you have set for yourself is represented by the crashing airplane; you do not believe in your ability to attain those goals. Loss of power and uncertainty in achieving your goals are also signified.
To dream that an airplane is hijacked, signifies disturbing feelings and past emotions in your unconscious mind. |

Dream FAQs |
Does everyone
dream?
Yes. Laboratory studies have shown that we experience our
most vivid dreams during a type of sleep called Rapid Eye
Movement (REM) sleep. During REM sleep the brain is very
active, the eyes move back and forth rapidly under the lids,
and the large muscles of the body are relaxed. REM sleep
occurs every 90 - 100 minutes, 3 to 4 times a night, and
lasts longer as the night progresses. The final REM period
may last as long as 45 minutes. Less vivid dreams occur at
other times during the night.
How can I improve my dream memory?
Before you fall asleep, remind yourself that you want to
remember your dreams. Keep a paper and pen or tape-recorder
by your bedside. As you awaken, try to move as little as
possible and try not to think right away about your upcoming
day. Write down all of your dreams and images, as they can
fade quickly if not recorded. Any distractions will cause
the memory of your dream to fade. If you can't remember a
full dream, record the last thing that was on your mind
before awakening, even if you have only a vague memory of
it.
Are dreams in color?
Most dreams are in color, although people may not be aware
of it, either because they have difficulty remembering their
dreams or because color is such a natural part of visual
experience. People who are very aware of color while awake
probably notice color more often in their dreams.
Why do people have trouble remembering their dreams?
Some people have no difficulty in remembering several dreams
nightly, whereas others recall dreams only occasionally or
not at all. Nearly everything that happens during sleep—
including dreams, the thoughts which occur throughout the
night and memories of brief awakenings—is forgotten by
morning. There is something about the phenomenon of sleep
itself which makes it difficult to remember what has
occurred and most dreams are forgotten unless they are
written down. Sometimes a dream is suddenly remembered later
in the day or on another day, suggesting that the memory is
not totally lost but for some reason is very hard to
retrieve. Sleep and dreams also are affected by a great
variety of drugs and medications, including alcohol. Further,
stopping certain medications suddenly may cause nightmares.
It is advisable to discuss with your physician the effect of
any drugs or medications you are taking.
Do dreams have meaning?
Although scientists continue to debate this issue, most
people who work with their dreams, either by themselves or
with others, find that their dreams are very meaningful for
them. Dreams are useful in learning more about the dreamer's
feelings, thoughts, behavior, motives, and values. Many find
that dreams can help them solve problems. Further, artists,
writers, and scientists often get creative ideas from dreams..
How can I learn to interpret my dreams?
The most important thing to keep in mind is that your
dreams reflect your own underlying thoughts and feelings,
and that the people, actions, settings and emotions in your
dreams are personal to you. Some dream experts theorize that
there are typical or archetypal dreams and dream elements
that persist across different persons, cultures, and times.
Usually, however, the same image or symbol will have
different meanings for different people. For example, an
elephant in a dream can mean one thing to a zoo keeper and
something quite different to a child whose favorite toy is a
stuffed elephant. Therefore, books which give a specific
meaning for a specific dream image or symbol (or "dream
dictionaries") are not usually helpful. By thinking about
what each dream element means to you or reminds you of, by
looking for parallels between these associations and what is
happening in your waking life, and by being patient and
persistent, you can learn to understand your dreams. It can
be helpful to keep a dream diary and reflect on many dreams
over a long period of time to get the truest picture of your
unique dream life. Many good books that can help you get
started interpreting your dreams.
What does it mean when I have the same dream
over and over?
Recurrent dreams, which can continue for years, may be
treated as any other dream. That is, one may look for
parallels between the dream and the thoughts, feelings,
behavior, and motives of the dreamer. Understanding the
meaning of the recurrent dream sometimes can help the
dreamer resolve an issue that he or she has been struggling
with for years.
Is it normal to have nightmares?
Nightmares are very common among children and fairly
common among adults. Often nightmares are caused by stress,
traumatic experiences, emotional difficulties, drugs or
medication, or illness. However, some people have frequent
nightmares that seem unrelated to their waking lives. Recent
studies suggest that these people tend to be more open,
sensitive, trusting, and emotional than average.
Is it true that if you dream that you die or
that you hit bottom in a falling dream, you will in fact die
in your sleep?
No, these beliefs are not true. Many people have dreamed
that they died or hit bottom in a fall and they have lived
to tell the tale! You can explore the meaning of these kinds
of images just as you would explore any others that might
occur in your dreams. However, if any aspect of your dreams
worries or distresses you, talk to a professional mental
health practitioner about your concerns.
Is it possible to control dreams?
You often can influence your dreams by giving yourself
pre-sleep suggestions. Another method of influencing dreams
is called lucid dreaming, in which you are aware you are
dreaming while still asleep and in the dream. Sometimes
people experience this type of dreaming spontaneously. It is
often possible to learn how to increase lucid dreaming, and
thereby increase your capacity to affect the course of the
dream events as they unfold. Some things are easier than
others to control, and indeed complete control is probably
never possible. Some professional dream workers question the
advisability of trying to control the dream, and encourage
learning to enjoy and understand it instead.
Can dreams predict the future?
There are many examples of dreams that seemed to predict
future events. Some may have been due to coincidence, faulty
memory, or an unconscious tying together of known
information. A few laboratory studies have been conducted of
predictive dreams, as well as clairvoyant and telepathic
dreams, but the results were varied, as these kinds of
dreams are difficult to study in a laboratory setting. |
