Flying

Freedom, transcendence — or a wish to rise above a waking-life weight.

FreudJungHindu

In Jungian thought, flight represents the liberated spirit, the animus or anima in movement. Hindu tradition (especially in the Upanishads) describes dream-flight as the subtle body (sūkṣma śarīra) traveling beyond the senses. Freud, characteristically, linked it to sexual desire and the sensation of lightness in arousal.
