Panoramic views, dreams and being airborne rather than earthbound

Lately, my dreams have extended themselves into narratives in which I spread my wings out over rivers, mountain ranges and seas. This is a recurring motif and I can sometimes will myself to have them if I fixate enough on the concept before getting some shut eye.
According to Jung such dreams may suggest that I am feeling assured and in control of my destiny and what I want out of life, but the sudden crash landing that seems to set in toward the end of each dream of flight I have isn't very reassuring. Maybe the recent aborted flight with United (mid-air left engine failure replete with flames and sparks) is adding its own surprise twist to my dreams...
