Fly dream meaning is explained below using 6 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Astro Center

Dreaming of flying high in the air and looking down on your usual surroundings is a very common dream, and most often implies a widening and broadening of your vision.

It is also an omen of happiness, exhilaration, and good fortune. Whether these benefits will come easily or with great effort depends on the circumstances of the dream, particularly the weather.

(see Flying)

Dreaming of a fly, that is, the insect, represents a minor obstacle that must be overcome - in short, the proverbial “fly in the ointment.” An annoying fly that keeps buzzing around your head is a signal that the obstacle, however miniscule it might be, will not go away on its own and requires immediate attention.
