Kids Can Fly
I was at a retreat of some kind, and all of the kids there (myself included) had the ability to fly. However, none of us could fly whenever any parents were around. I think Bill Cosby's son came up to me and told me not to tell his dad that he flew because he thought he would be mad or something.
All of the parents came, and it was time to go. I went with my mom, and we started to head off. Before we left, we saw one of those Mobile
Lunch Cart things coming down the hill. It made a sharp turn and almost fell over, but it was miraculously able to right itself by turning in the opposite direction. It stopped right near us, so we decided to buy something. I gave the kid a 20, and he put it in the 5's slot and closed the drawer. I alerted him that it was a 20 that i had just given him and asked for my change. My mom told me to just let it go, but i thought it would be easy enough to fix, so i didn't listen to her. He seemed worried that he didn't know what the correct change was because he didn't enter it correctly. I told him to just add 15 dollars to whatever it said, but then he ended up giving me more than 20. I gave him 5 dollars back and just kept 16, and at that point, i took my mom's advice of letting it go even though what we bought was only about 2 dollars. I figured that it was close enough now. I took a nap and didn't wake up until we got home. I
was mad at my mom when i realized she didn't stop at In-N-Out on the way.

This dream had an interesting distinction of NOT being lucid, and yet, i still had the ability to fly. I wonder if this means that deep down inside, i truly believe that i CAN fly.
The part about In-N-Out is because every time my church has a retreat (men's retreat, women's retreat, etc.), we always stop at In-N-Out on the way home, but my mom never goes.
The book I just read says that they speculate flying dreams (non-lucid) go in hand in hand with feeling free, capable of adventurous experience, or novelty and change. Another book asks, are you trying to "rise above" a problem, achieve promotion, or improve your life? Are you developing an ambition or idea? You may be flying into a rage, flying in the face of fortune, flying off the handle, or quite simply "letting fly." In other words, it totally depends on the context. Interesting note: "some people have been so convinced by the apparent realism of their dream that on waking they have fallen downstairs, attempting to defy gravity."
i like how the two interpretations basically contradict each other.
me too.
I like the context version--in my experience, when I read over dreams later, and I know what was on my mind during that time, it's really easy to interpret.
