Flying represents a feeling of weightlessness as in nothing is weighing the dreamer down. Flying can be the mind’s way of celebrating something and enjoying that feeling of complete exhilaration. It may also represent a lack of grounded-ness meaning that the dreamer needs to "come back to earth". Sometimes flying in a dream is labored and not freeing, when this is the case, it tells that the dreamer is trying to free herself from some bond but is having difficulty.
