Dreaming of a Kite

kite, flying a kite, paper kite, toy · mostly negative

A kite speaks of dazzling but flimsy appearances, and hopes that drift away.

What happens in the dream

  • Flying a kite: a great show of wealth or business with little soundness behind it; or soon writing a letter to a friend
  • Making a kite: you'll speculate heavily on small means and try to win someone by misrepresenting yourself
  • Children flying kites: pleasant, light occupations
  • The kite crashes to the ground: disappointment and failure
  • The kite rises out of sight: high hopes that turn into disappointment and loss
  • Seeing a kite in the sky: a letter from someone interested in you, or by another reading danger from thieves

How you felt

  • Aspiration: the dream often reflects a wish to rise higher
  • Insecurity: fear that everything hangs by a thread

Ask yourself

  • Do my plans rest on solid ground?
  • What am I afraid of losing hold of?
