"It means you are achieving your goals. You do things that lead to success. Everything is open to you. It’s really good to dream of flying.

To interpret this dream, pay attention to the person behind the wheel, advises Lauri Quinn Loewenberg.  What are you trying to control at this time? What are you trying to change direction without doing?

• You are having a good time with an ex

That means you can't stop thinking about your ex ... but it's not necessarily mutual. "This absolutely does not mean that the person wants you to come back," warns Linda Lauren. But rather that you’re obsessed with this person you’ve dated and you can’t move on. ”

• Teeth
