I'm posting this in the hopes this might help someone else.
For a long while (years, actually), I used to occasionally have the same two dreams that would manifest themselves in different ways.
In one of them, I would go diving off a springboard, knowing in my heart I was very good at it, and yet, every time I would dive, I would end up in very shallow waters, mud even, and whatever euphoria I had felt, would go splat in an instant.
In other dreams, I knew I had the ability to fly, yet every time I would actually do it, I would barely get my feet off the ground. It was a pretty pathetic sight to see, just kind of hovering like 1 foot off the ground, how sad is that? Might as well walk, right?
After these dreams started to occur quite often, with some variations, in a matter of several months, I started praying about their meaning, because it just kept nagging at me.
Eventually, God let me know that I had these dreams because I thought I needed special giftings to accomplish anything significant and feel good about myself. He set my head straight and let me know that He already loved and accepted me, and that I did have giftings, but that the accomplishments due to them would be God's problem, since my gifts are of Him to begin with. After the lights came on in my head, and I agreed to see myself as God sees me, and I repented, the dreams never happened again.
Full Version: Flying -- Except Not
I agree with your understanding. In other dreams which I had, it was as if I could see myself tripping as I walked down a hill (perhaps a root sticking out of the ground or some other thing) and I would trip to such a large extent that I'd wake up with my leg kicking in reality. After time I came to understand that there was something tripping me up (spiritually)...that I needed to reject...then once I rejected what needed to be rejected, the dreams stopped.
God bless you,

I'd like to add too, that it's good what your brought to light here because we all are tempted and/or tested from time to time. One of the hugest tests I endured was the *lofty* goals I set for myself to accomplish *for God*... this can be a snare, a trap of sorts because the enemy desires for us to lift ourselves up, rather than waiting upon God in full trust of His WILL and/or TIMING for certain things to be accomplished in our lives. God's not calling everybody to a similar calling as Moses had, and even IF He were to call some similarly; there is a timing for all things considered. And, God knows how to humble the proud and exalt the humble.
