Dreams of flying are among the most fascinating and spiritually symbolic experiences in Islamic dream interpretation. Depending on the details—such as how, where, and why you’re flying—the dream can carry messages of transformation, travel, or even a divine warning.
Let’s explore the authentic Islamic interpretations of flying in a dream, as described by the great scholars of dream science like Ibn Sirin, Hazrat Daniyal (A.S), Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (R.A), and others.
1. Flying Like a Bird and Disappearing in the Sky
Interpretation by Hazrat Daniyal (A.S):
If someone sees himself flying like a bird and disappearing into the sky without returning to earth, it is a symbol of death. This dream indicates that the person may soon depart from this world, and it serves as a reminder to prepare for the Hereafter through repentance and righteous deeds.
A powerful warning dream about one’s life nearing its end.
2. Flying Towards the Qiblah with Wings and Returning
Interpretation by Ibn Sirin (R.A):
If a person sees himself flying with wings towards the Qiblah and returning, it indicates that he will go on a beneficial journey and return safely with profit and blessings.
A positive sign of successful travel, especially for business or religious purposes.
3. Flying Without Wings
If someone dreams of flying without wings, it is a sign of life transformation:
-
A poor person may become wealthy.
-
A sinful person may become righteous.
-
A rich person may lose status, or vice versa.
This dream shows that a major life change is coming—good or bad—based on the dreamer’s current character and actions.
4. Flying from One Rooftop to Another
Interpretation:
Flying from one roof to another means the dreamer will divorce his wife and marry another woman.
Indicates a change in personal relationships, especially related to marriage or domestic life.
5. Flying High Towards the Sky
Interpretation by Ibrahim Karmani (R.A):
Flying upward toward the sky symbolizes the opportunity to perform Hajj (pilgrimage) in the near future.
A beautiful dream pointing to spiritual elevation and a blessed journey to Makkah.
6. Flying From One House to Another
If a person dreams of flying from his house into another house, it means death is near. The dreamer is being reminded by the unseen world to repent from sins and return to Allah before it’s too late.
A serious sign to make tawbah (repentance) and improve one’s relationship with Allah.
