Airplane
Ambition, journey, rising above
Flood
Overwhelming emotions, major change
Airplane
Airplanes represent lofty ambitions, major life journeys, and the desire to rise above earthly concerns. Flying in a plane differs from personal flying: it represents collective journeys and reliance on systems larger than yourself. A plane taking off symbolizes launching a major project or life phase. A crashing plane represents fear of ambitious plans failing. Turbulence reflects anxiety about the journey.
Flood
Flood dreams represent emotions that have breached their normal containment — feelings that are overwhelming and out of control. This can relate to grief, anger, love, or any intense emotion. Floods can also symbolize major life changes that sweep away the old and bring new circumstances.
