Flying dreams tend to feel dramatic, and in Korean dream interpretation they usually live up to that feeling: most airplane dreams are read as strong, wealth-and-status omens, “as high as the sky,” as the saying goes. The main thing to watch for is turbulence: a plane that shakes, struggles, or crashes badly tends to flip the meaning toward a warning instead.
