Wings

Interpretation

Wings symbolize transcendence, travel, and protection. Dreaming of sprouting wings can mean embracing new opportunities or seeking escape. Struggling to fly highlights anxiety about capability. Borrowing another’s wings hints at mentorship or dependence.

Let the dream encourage expansion without forgetting the body that carries you.

Common Meanings

• Soaring easily: Liberation; trust your preparation and support network
• Flapping without lift: Frustration; strengthen skills or adjust expectations
• Wings injured: Vulnerability; pause and heal before launching again

Cultural Context

Wings appear in myth—from angels to Icarus—symbolizing divine messages and cautionary tales. Birds also signify migration and diaspora. Reflect on how your heritage interprets flight, freedom, and the consequences of flying too close to danger.
