Interesting. Don’t remember dreams that much. In this one, I was floating and remember trying to move around by moving my legs but didn’t feel like falling just floating. Actually a couple days later I hear that mother-in-law is in the hospital with pneumonia, not breathing well and not eating…she’s afraid and won’t close her eyes to sleep. Hmmm

I hardly ever remember my dreams. I can think of maybe 2 or 3 that I ever have remembered. But the two I have most recently had involved me floating. In a room all the way up to the ceiling and I just kept moving forward through the room. I wanted to stop moving and come back down to the ground, but I wasn’t able to. It was horrifying… accompanied with really loud noises and uncomfortable emotions. It all started about 15 minutes into my sleep and lasted about 5 minutes.

Like Mike above, I dreamed of floating to the ceiling in a room, my den, and I initially tried to stay standing on the floor, but then just gave up and ending up floating to the ceiling and then floating around the room while at the ceiling. I don’t remember any noises, but it was very vivid and seemed very real to me. When I abruptly woke up, I looked around the room (I was sleeping on the sofa in the den), and wondered why I wasn’t at the ceiling anymore! I’ve dreamed floating dreams like this before, but it’s been a long time since I dreamt like this, until this dream. Thanks.

My dream started with me visiting a public pool. It was in an older renovated bldg. The walls were a nicely stained dark wood and the lockerrooms, while older in style were quite nice, clean, white tile. There were many pools and many people swimming and using black innertubes to float in. Most were just relaxing, the windows were open & it was nice outside & there was a deck & some outdoor pools. I went outside and saw my exboyfriend with his daughter (I don’t think he has a daughter currently) she was cute, in a mini-floating device with sunglasses & a hat on. He also had a dog with him, which I know he does have now. I stopped and lifted his sunglasses & said “oh look who it is!” I was on the phone to my current boyfriend & telling him. Then the ex & I decided to go to another pool. But in stead of walking inside we walked off the deck & floated alongside the bldg. We lost momentum and were stuck in the air. I had the dog and spun him around to give me some momentum & I made it to the next deck & walked in to the next pool.

I dont remember my dream… all i remember is being with a group of people and then i started to float. I kept getting higher and higher and i was scared that something bad would happen if i got too high. But everytime i tried to come down i would just foat back up

Throughout my life I have had dreams that I float. I see people and places. Once while I was still in highschool I floated and saw friends sitting on the floor drinking beer and my friend had on a red shirt. when I explained the scene to him the next day he was in disbelief at how accurate I was. Lastnight I had the same kind of floating dream except my dad was there (who is now deceased) I was in my daughters room and she couldn’t see or hear me. I kept screaming at her and my dad kept consoling me. The dream was so disturbing that I woke up in tears. I was in so much fear that I wasn’t going to come out of it this time. Anyone else ever have this? I really don’t think these are dreams anymore.

I dreamt of a kid from the rooftop of the third floor apartment I live in. In the dream, the kid (male) must have come from the rooftop except that there was no rope or anything and so he must have floated and then stopped right in front of my bedroom window and was knocking. Also, at the same time, dogs were barking/howling furiously in the apartment complex in my dream. I actually dreamt of the apartment complex I live in. What does this mean? I am very disturbed by it and felt very uneasy in the morning after waking up.

In my dream all I remember was feeling scared and how I didn’t want to float up in the sky. I just kept going up higher and higher up towards the sky and nothing could stop me. I would try to catch on to things and stop myself, but nothing could stop me from going higher into the sky. This is a reoccuring dream. I do not have these every night, however, I have had very similar dreams ( Same dream, different settings) quite a few times. What could this mean??

My dream was I was in an autorioum and I was on the stage and my little sister would tell everyone to close there eyes and me too and then she would say something i would begin to float in the air not touching the stage anymore it had last about 30 mins and then people would say a name and that was the next person to come to the stage. Well after everyone had there turn it was time to leave. So we leave and I call my fiance to come get me and he was saying I aint coming to get you. well he did anyways then i woke up. Well its kinda weird but me and him have been arguing over the same thing for 2 days and he was stressing me so hopefully this will a better day for us. I hope so.

I wasn’t dreaming. I was 1/2 asleep and floating on the ceiling when my boyfriend came in the room and I saw him. I thought I was in trouble for floating away like that but he didn’t see me. So I woke up got mad and went back to sleep.

I had a dream last night that angels lifted me up & helped me float & I was laughing….then, they threw me a gift of a plastic royal blue baby shoe & an action figure…it was the strangest dream I have ever had….an feedback on meaning?????

I regularly and more than not have lucid dreams about flying and floating.It’s never in a craft at anytime,just in my body form.It usually starts where i am in an area or place unfamiliar to me i.e never been there before and an awesome urge to just rise of the floor standing and float/fly starts.The dream is very real to me at the time.In order to fly or float,it’s like i must concentrate in order to do so.The more i concentrate about rising the higher i will do so.Also in the dream it’s like a feeling in my gut that enables me to either float or fly like a bird if you will.Are these dreams linked to anything?,do they actually mean anything?.All i know is that i am quite dissapointed when the alarm clock goes off and the dream ends.But i know again sooner rather than later i will be having these dreams again.I personally think it’s a look to the other side and maybe even a glimpse of heaven.Who knows?.But for the same dream to constantly occur on the regular basis that it does has me asking questions and wanton for answers.
Great forum by the way and i look forward to hearing from someone on this board soon regarding my dreams.

I have recurring dreams of being able to float – like a special power. I just lean back like I’m sitting – very relaxed and I hover in the air and use this also travel to where I want to go.

i have amazing dreams where im floating, i can control them. i do flips and twists, i can make my self go higher and lower. although sometimes i start to rise and have to wave my arms and pull myself back down. but they always have a weird tranquility about them. i used to have dreams where i could run and bounce of objects like walls and fences and float over buildings but now it has developed in to much more controled dreams of just placcid floating

Someone please help…why do I keep having this dream over and over…it terrifies me. I’m always floating one way or another and sometimes it’s just that i am lifting from the chair that i am in and it shouldn’t be so horrifing but it is…can someone please tell me what this means??others are more scarey and would rather not talk about…husband says i start to moan in my sleep and he knows i am floating and he wakes me…and i am floating…he can tell by the moaning now…dear god someone help me!

In my dream – I remember being in a green field with friends. I just wanted to get away so I started floating, as I was going down I pushed my self up until I reached up to the sky and just floated, felt so free…. This dream has happened before when I was young, now im having them again. I wonder what that means?

I began having floating dreams 6 months ago & have had about 4 or 5 of them. The 1st 2 or so were very frightening & then the next couple were calm & relaxing. Last night’s was scary again. In the 1st couple, I would begin to float away from my husband, like in a huge movie theater, but he couldn’t hear my shouts or see me. I floated around at the ceiling level trying to get back to him for awhile, then got further and further away as through a dark sky. I woke up crying. The next couple I just floated up into a daylight sky away from no one in particular, and they were very calming. Last night I was walking with a woman I didn’t know & began to float away, but she took my hands, holding me to the ground while even my shoes floated off my feet. I panicked, thinking she’d let go, but calmed down as I felt her grip tighten, then awoke. I’m going through stresses of different kinds, but can’t pinpoint which one is causing the dreams. They’re so real that when I awaken, I get out of bed & feel I could close my eyes & lift off the ground.

Last night, the most creepiest thing happened to me. This is the first time it happened except for one time when i was quite younger which was as creepy if not creepier. (I was being suffocated while I was floating in the dream and woke up not being able to breathe) Last night I felt as if my soul was being pulled out of my body and I heard a loud persistent noise/sound with my name being whispered repeatedly. I was watching my bf sleep at the time it happened. I held back tightly scared for my life but i kept floating. Luckily I didnt go to the ceiling but my whole body was raised several inches above my bed while my arms were clenching fiercely to my bed. I then yelled out “NO” and snapped out of it. Can anyone help me?

I was 14 when i was listening to music in the middle of the night then i started to feel like i was going up against the ceiling fan i remember yelling mom but no voice came out my mouth and I was going up and up towards the fan then I fell on the bed and looked around and it did not feel as it was a dream? Common a person can easily tell when they just had a nightmare , im not sure if it was a dream or real because I remember falling down then ran to my moms room.

my dream was like a dream inside of a dream. I was dreaming that I was dreaming… and inside my inside dream, I was floating(hope that makes sense to you). I was afraid and wanted to stop but everything I tried to grab hold of, I seemed to not be able to grasp it securely. I would stop in mid air and try to get down/land and wouldn’t be able to position my body in an upright position. I was always on my back except for when I would try to land then I would just spin and end up on my back again. There were people in my dream, but I can’t remember if they could see or hear me. Also, I seemed to be aware that I was dreaming of floating inside of another dream and was trying to wake up myself on the inside dream (hope that makes sense) what does this mean?

I often have dreams where I’m lighter than normal. I need to get somewhere fast, and so I hop, higher than normal, and float pretty far. Sometimes I’m outside and I can float much higher and farther, over roads, trees, buildings. If I’m inside, I’m only a few feet off the ground and am only going a couple yards at a time, maybe. But I am always upright. I’m not flying. I’m not scared of floating away. There is gravity, I will come down and land and push off and keep going to wherever I’m going. It’s so freeing for me, because in real life, my feet always keep me down. They pain me if I have to walk or stand for long periods of time. My husband loves to go hiking, and I can hardly ever go with him unless it’s a very short walk. I am a bit overweight, I’m sure that factors into it. But in my dreams, that’s irrelevant. I’m light, I hop, I float. I’m free…

I was been pulled up by some force and my hubsand had to pull me back down. i would wake up and dream it again over and over.

I was looking up floating but my dream had a couple of different aspects to it. I like others on here generally don’t remember my dreams. However, when I do it is the very vivid ones and it is just parts of them that I remember. Enough to make me feel jittery inside because I believe in what dreams have to say to me. I Have dreamed of floating before, it isn’t like floating in water or even flying. I just start floating barely above the ground and eventually higher and I have no control over it. It made me very anxious. In my dream I was taking care of a very large green snake and it started shedding I knew it needed some things to make the shedding easier so I headed off to the store. Through out the dream I keep spontaneously start floating.

Then my dream switched to something else I was somewhere else…but I know the snake means change a very large change but I couldn’t remember what floating meant.

I have recently been dreaming about floating up to heaven. It is quite a peaceful dream except that i dont want to go there yet and that i am leaving my loved ones behind. I am concerned by reading some of the other dreams about death. I hope this is not a preminition.

Wow! this is the EXACT same dreams i have recurring as well!
They start off in a place I have not been, the last one was at a campus which seemed like a university, and I am walking between people, then I concentrate, and I start to float (just like a foot off the ground), and when i concentrate more, I start to move forward, so instead of using my feet to walk I am now floating through the air. The feeling is like having a kind of super power, where others cant do it, and I can. The people dont mind when I float along, they look at me like this is normal but that only very few people have the ability to do it.
Also these dreams are incredibly real and vivid, they are beyond lucid dreams, they are by far the most absolutely real feeling dreams Ive had, where everything from my sight so physical feeling, and even mental awareness are present (the feeling of having control over my body and the environment, the ability to make myself raise into the air simply by concentrating). Like the previous poster Stephen wrote, I am incredibly disappointed when I wake up from these dreams. Its not even really “waking” up like from a normal dream, because these are so real, there isnt much difference between the dream and being awake. In fact I dont even recall when I woke up and where the dream ended, until the realization that I cannot float any longer and the huge disappointment this brings. These dreams are simply amazing, like I said its due to the realism they have, and the ability to break the rules of physical reality in them. Makes me wish doing that was possible in real life. Who knows, they say 90% of the cognative parts of our brains are as yet unaccessed. Maybe they could be used to gain control over physical reality — mentally. But I wonder what these dreams mean, and why they are recurring. Not that Im complaining, they are very amazing and I wish I had them more often.

Another recurring dream Ive had is one where I am almost flying. I jump really high and float like 100 feet into the air reaching above the powerlines and tree tops on a road Im walking on. But then comes a feeling of fear as I see how high I had gotten, and then I begin to fall down. However, from the fear of hitting the ground, the falling seems to take a very long time, or the dream keeps trying to supress the actual landing, almost like I keep trying to float. But eventually I do start to fall and then before I would hit or get too close to the ground, I wake up. Ive had a few of these dreams, generally taking place in outside rural areas like the one on some country road most recently. Once In a while I am in a vehicle which floats up with me, but then usually it vanishes later as I get toward the “falling” part of the dream.

Anyway these dreams are fun to have over-all, I just wish I knew what meaning they had, if any.

i have this dream where i wake up(still dreaming) and the light is on im in bed being held down by something i can’t see but my upperbody starts to float i figure its a ghost or demon so i start to pray that dosent work so i start cussing i loose my voice it lets go i sit up try to use my cell phone but it wont work i try to call my boyfriend finally get threw then in the same dream i wake up only this time in the closet samething being held down but floating it lets go and i float to my bed and then when i get the phone to work italked to him about it then finally i woke up outta that dream and was glad it was over

i have dreams were i kinda take in air and can make myself float
it always seems real
it was funny because i thought i was finally showing some one my floating skills and i was so stoked but it was a dream
it feels like being able to swim in the air

Im 16 and I’ve had dreams like this a few times. My first one was at my old house. I was sleeping in tha living room on tha couch… I was sleepin wit my hands at my side. I opened my eyes and i was floatin bout like 2 inches off tha couch. I felt scared I tried to scream for my mom and move but I couldnt move and no sound would come out of my mouth. I few mins later it stopped it felt like a dream but so real I was scared and went to go sleep on tha floor in my parents room. But I didnt tell them what happened.

Tha second time was at my new house. I was sleepin in my room in my bed. On tha oppisite wall of my room there is a big full body mirror. I woke up and was floatin but higher this time maybe 2 feet off my bed this also seemed so real and I could see myself in tha mirror floatin it was crazy like it feels like Im dreaming but Im awake. Like I seen everything Id be seein if I was awake.

A few weeks later it happend again. I was layin in my bed tha head of my bed was by my bedroom door. I just levitated again. I just kept havin this same dream for a few nights in a row just me floatin maybe foot of my bed horizontally. then maybe tha 5th night in a row of havin this dream it happend again I was floatin horizontally off my bed then suddenly I started moving into a vertical position still in tha air but upside down. I felt excited and scared at tha same time. Then i was floatin again tha next night this time I could somewhat move freely. I was tryin to grab my phone to try and call my friend cause I was scared but my phone wouldnt turn on. Then it just felt like I woke up back in my bed scared thinkin wow did that really happen. I layed in my bed scared it would happen again.

stayed up try doing what you were spots to do,really weird
eyes stated to tingle then it got wheres and wheres then you feal your
self start to float then you can see you self,really strange and then it starts to stop and your up weird is int it

My last name ir Roland. For you “Roland” to post the exact same age, description of floating then running to your mom’s room is so accurate. I’m normally not crazy about this stuff but now im so interested i wish to get a hold of you and descuss

I’ve had floating dreams since I was a child. I first dreamed of being able to jump from my dresser to the bed across the room by floating. Since then I’ve dreamed of being able to float and control my flight rising or falling at will. It’s always in a room though and never outside.
I wake longing for the ability to to do this in real life and even tried thinking my way into doing it when I was young. It’s an exhilarating feeling. I’m going to bed now and I hope I dream of flying.

i constantly dream about floating through the air,usually by my own will,sometimes involuntary(in that case i float just a few inches above the ground,otherwise i can reach great heights at will),i also had a few dreams where i effectively flew and also a few times where i could jump very high and far.
also had a lot of dreams where i swam through the air.
i also have frequent lucid dreams,usually i just wake up because of the realization,otherwise the dream usually tries to distract me from that realization ,often by waking up in another dream(this one time i had that 9 times in a row)anyway the reason i float/fly frequently maybe because of efforts to fly while being lucid in a dream(although the recurrent dream of floating I’m usually unaware of the fact that i’m dreaming,at times it even causes me to become lucid))

I’ve read all the comments and the closest to mine is the last post, Sylvan’s. Its happened a few times now. It always starts with me being outside my house, which is in the countryside. I take a deep breathe and just like a hop that never ends stay floating only maybe about 4 feet off the ground till i feel the need to touch the ground to push back off again. Im only traveling about 3 miles an hour and im always going the 1 direction………my parents house which is about 2 miles away. It feels so natural and real to me that i cant explain it only that it felt like i’ve been doing it for years and it sure wasn’t a dream.
I rarely dream and when i do, they dont feel anything like this. I felt the wind in my face, felt the lightness, felt the ability to do it at ease and the excitment of it.
Maybe it was just a dream

Actually, right at this momment, I fell asleep maybe for about 10 min, and all of a sudden it looked like my spirit was walking out of my body. I seen it myself! And to me its scary I mean I ALWAYS have dreams like that! Then I can see myself raising up almost like if I’m a ghost and after I feel myself moving around. Like if I’m looking out for my family. I float from room to room and once I’m done looking around my house, I can see my body laying where I fell asleep and my spirit goes back in me AND that’s when I wake up! Its kinda weird but its been happening lately..

i have dreams that i float uncontrollably and cannot come back to ground unless i grab onto a really tall tower or tree.. it freaks me out.. i wake up near instantly.. i dnt kno if i am aimlessly walkin about my like or what .. but far out its a weird/freaky dream

i have this dream over and over agian and can’t figure out what it may mean…..in my dream i am running, but after a few feet im in the air…floating…it’s like i put my arms out and i’m some sort of godess or something…

Wow. Mine is very similar to those posted here. Me floating towards ceiling. I used to have flying dreams but more recently floating. People are trying to get me, grab me + I am barely getting away from them, chasing me. I’ve had about three now I think

don’t be afraid – these are special! i had another last night and its different than any other dream. my experience is very similar to what stephen above described – an urge in my gut followed by upward floating. what’s trippy for me – is yesterday i did a long sincere writing (i write) about feeling overwhelmed with situations and i even wrote a letter to god, the universe, about it and asked for answers – something i haven’t done in many months. Then I had this dream and in the dream I felt like I was learning a new skill – i kept practicing it. it felt like letting go, relaxing – the floating would only work if I relaxed and didn’t force it. It was a message for my life. Today i’m going to close my eyes and put myself back there and try to integrate the lesson of the dream. i believe its a tool.

In my dreams I used to take a step, but then wait before setting my foot down. This suspended step would send me floating just inches above ground. I’m always looking at other people in the dream, like I’m trying to be special about my flying ability.

The dreams evolved into me just hovering in air, going higher and higher until I got worried about how to get down. I must point out that these we’re good dreams. I felt really confident and enjoyed them.

When I was little, every time that I would dream, the ceiling above my bed would open up and I would float into the dream. Once, I remember flying over the city I live in with some people. I specifically remember a woman with a long, flowing gown and long, dark hair. Is this more than a dream? Could I have actually left my body? How would I be able to know what my city looks like from the air, since I have never been in an airplane in my life. Anyone have an answer?

i have floating dreams, but mine happens uncontrollably, i try to grab onto things but i cant get a grip and i want to get back to the ground but im stuck floating against the ceiling.

I had another dream where I was in a Jeep with a old friend of mine – she was driving the Jeep and we are a rough road. She told me , “Don’t worry, my Jeep is made for roads like this….” then as we were descending down a steep hill, the Jeep started to levitate up from the road and we were going up and up…soaring and soaring higher even above the tree tops!!! I told my friend, her name is Patty, that we were going too high…she told me don’t worry, we will land safely down. And we did.

This is one of many dreams I have had in my lifetime where I am floating up …..one time I was floating up in an elevator as it was going down; another time I was driving my kids on a country road where again, the road turned into a nice steep grade and the car lifted up and began to float over the road. I don’t know what in the world these mean….but the recurrence of the same theme is starting to concern me.

So today was sleeping normal fine I even take sleeping pills because I used to get bad dreams but lately I’ve been dreaming …
I was in a room over watching but at the same time I was being TAKEN over I couldn’t breath I started to see things. In the past I’ve had dreams with phantoms scramming at me I could hear the screaming … I was floating and falling I kept on saying to myself “This isn’t real isn’t real all my imagination ” then I fell back into my body I don’t like out of body experiences … some say when your soul leaves your body it sometimes can’t come back … idk I don’t like dreaming much anymore it always about people I don’t like or I miss so they’re reenactments of bad parts of my life … but with the sleeping pills lately no dreams …. I’ve been taking them.. and the dreams are back I hate it … I know I still dream either way the pills just make it so I can’t remember them …. but thanks … you just worried me more I’m 16 and scared …

okay i had a dream that somebody lifted me up into the air. so i was floating and below me there was a burning spider over a statue of Buddha. its so weird because i don’t dream usually. and then the night after that i had dream the world was falling apart, but i had all of my family with me and we were safe in these mountains. but i didnt have my step family with me, and every night we wre in the mountians a giant black bird attacked us. anybody know what these things might mean?

I regularly have the dream of floating. In it I am actually swimming through the air like it is water. I float/swim to the tops of buildings and then dive down to the street. I snake around people who are walking. In the dream I am so happy. I laugh and smile at everyone. It is a wonderful dream and I always cannot wait to have another. It usually starts with me walking down a flight of stairs and then I lean forward and I just start floating around. I love it. I am usually not a smiling laughing type of person, but in that dream, I am the exact opposite of my everyday personality. I know it means something, but I don’t care, I just love it…
