Dreaming that your body gently floats upward - dream meaning with inherited lore

Your feet leave the ground and your body slowly rises into the air. You are startled at first, but as the houses and buildings below grow smaller, your body feels wonderfully light and at ease.

Korean lore: Traditionally, feeling lighter or rising into the sky has sometimes been interpreted as blocked things beginning to open up or your momentum growing. But if you feel out of control and drifting away, it may also reflect how hard it feels to stay grounded in reality. (This interpretation comes from folk dream lore that connects the weight of the body with worry, and reads rising as momentum and change.)

Through the mind: It may reflect a wish to step away from your current responsibilities for a while, through leaving a job, living independently, or taking a break. If rising felt peaceful, there may be anticipation about a new choice; if it felt frightening, there may also be worry about losing control.
