Flying
Flying dreams are among the most exhilarating and common dream experiences. They typically represent a desire for freedom, liberation from constraints, or rising above problems. Lucid dreamers often seek out the flying experience as a symbol of control over one's dream life. The ease of flying matters: effortless flight suggests confidence and control, while struggling to fly may indicate obstacles to your ambitions.
Twin or Double
Seeing your double, twin, or doppelganger in a dream represents confrontation with another aspect of yourself — perhaps a side you don't normally acknowledge. This can represent inner conflict between two desires, the gap between who you are and who you present to the world, or the emergence of an undeveloped part of your personality seeking integration.
