Air
Understand what air means in your dreams - from feeling free and inspired to facing changes and communication challenges.
Meaning
Air in dreams often relates to thoughts, communication, or freedom. Feeling the wind might mean change is coming or you're ready for something new. Struggling to breathe? You might feel restricted in your waking life. Flying through the air usually points to a desire for freedom or seeing things from a new perspective. The quality of the air - clear or polluted - can reflect your mental state.
