KITE

1- In Chinese lore, the kite symbolised the wind and even today it represents freedom. So, to dream of flying a kite can remind us of the carefree days of childhood when we were without responsibility. Often the colour is important (see Colour), as may be the material from which it is made.

While flying a kite, we arc at the mercy of the wind unless we have a fair degree of expertise. In dreams it is recognisable that we have some expertise in our everyday lives.

A kite represents the dreamer’s need for, or recognition of, forthcoming spiritual freedom, ‘fo be free of constraints and to be ‘pulling our own strings,’ as it were.

(see Air, Wind)

A kite that cannot get off the ground represents a project that seems doomed to stagnate or fail. Wait for a better wind and try again.

A kite soaring high in the sky reflects ambitions and lofty goals. Take care, however. From this height the wind can easily snag the kite out of your hands, and all control may be lost.

A kite that is flying firmly controlled from the ground symbolizes goals that have good foundations. With continued management, this effort should prove successful.

(Small hawk) In a dream, a kite means an insouciant or a languorous ruler who is audacious, defiled and stouthearted. Ifone catches and trains a wild kite to hunt for him and he finds that it is not obeying him or holding fast to his wrist in a dream, it means that he will bear a son who will become a ruler. Otherwise, if the kite flies away from his wrist in the dream, it means that the fetus may die before birth. Its chicks represent boys and girls banding at wrongdoing.

A kite in a dream also represents an adulterous wife and a secret affair.
