Cultural context

Falling and flying — loss and freedom

Dreams of falling from a height are familiar across cultures. In Thai interpretation, they may reflect a loss of control in some part of life. Waking before reaching the ground is traditionally read as getting through that difficulty.

Flying carries a contrasting meaning: freedom and an ability to see things from a wider perspective. In traditional readings, someone who dreams of flying may be seen as having inner resilience.
