You may have dreams that you want to be explained. Maybe your dream was too vivid to ignore, leaving you searching for a deeper meaning. Unfortunately for your curious mind, you may never find a deeper meaning.

Dreams can come from what you watch, conversations, and suppressed emotions. Having dreams is your brain’s way of releasing the images you see and the emotions you feel.

While there isn’t a way to find a definite meaning, you may be able to understand what your subconscious is trying to tell you.

Planes in Dreams

Dreaming about plane crashes can be scary. These dreams can leave you feeling powerless, especially when you aren’t the pilot of the plane. It may bring you some comfort to know that plane crash dreams are common.

By itself, an airplane in a dream could signify new beginnings or encounters in your life. Consider relationships, family, and your job.

Airplanes in dreams could also signify a process that you are going through. Things you go through, emotions you feel, and people you encounter are all a part of the process.

If your dream is of a plane safely landing or heading towards a specific destination, it could signify you heading towards success.

While airplane dreams can be a good sign for many, a plane crashing in your dream could be a warning that you should take caution.

What does it mean to dream about a plane crash?

Dreaming about a plane crash can have different symbolisms. This will depend on the nature of the dream. Are you the pilot or passenger? How did the plane crash?

If you are on a plane and it starts to lose control or crashes, this could mean that a plan or goal you have could fail. If you have doubts about these plans or your next moves, this dream could be displaying your true feelings about the matter. Take this time to go through all of your options and make sure you’re making the right choice.

Most times, dreams about planes crashing relate to your goals and success. Having a dream about a plane crash can give you a heads up that you should start being proactive. You should take the time to look at your goals and capabilities. Also, uncover suppressed emotions about them and the people they may involve.

Plane Crashing Once It Takes Off

If you have dreams about a plane crashing once it takes off, this could symbolize your desire for freedom. You may feel overwhelmed or tied down in certain situations. If you have this dream, you should take the time to work towards your independence and supporting yourself.

The BetterSleep app has different resources that can help you get a good rest. With things like meditation, yoga, and sleep sounds, you can have a good night’s rest every night.
