Airplane
Ambition, journey, rising above
Hiding
Avoidance, protection, shame
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.
Hiding
Hiding in dreams represents avoidance, the desire for protection, or shame about something in your life. What you're hiding from reveals what you're avoiding in waking life. Successfully hiding may indicate relief from pressure, while being found despite hiding suggests that avoidance isn't working. Hiding someone else may represent protecting someone or concealing a secret.
