The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
All those dreams containing aircraft (airplanes, planes, spaceships, balloons, etc.) symbolize the desire for improvement, ambition, and the need to rise. So, to look at a plane reflects that you are greater than your problems or that you crave a fast rise in the professional, social, or spiritual realm. Conversely, if it crashes it means you are using an incorrect procedure to make progress.

If you imagine that you fly in an airplane it is likely that your hopes are utopian and therefore are doomed to failure. On the other hand, it is likely that it is announcing a pending departure or imminent trip in life. This may include a new job, a new affair, or an adventure. Although, perhaps, it is simply a result of wanting to take a vacation. When you dream that the plane has an accident it means that you are very ambitious and have set goals too high. From a material or spiritual standpoint, you are having too high expectations compared to your capabilities so you may be unable to reach what you originally intended.

The London plane is often the only reminder of nature in urban areas and in dreams it may serve the same purpose: to encourage you to keep in touch with natural feelings and to get away from what is artificial.
