What Does Balloon Mean in Dreams?
Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning
Balloons can represent your love life or hopes and dreams (see balloon colors meaning). If you are holding a balloon and let it go symbolizes that you “let go” of your goals that you worked hard at. If your balloon pops it represents a sudden embarrassment or failure in something that should be taking off. Holding on to a bunch of balloons means that you are very proud of your achievements. If you are in the sky in a hot air balloon it suggests positive transition and movements in your life.
The balloon incorporates the idea of roundness or wholeness and something that rises. It can symbolize how you may need to achieve a lightness in being in order to remain balanced. It can also symbolize your mood or feelings about the present - where its color or behavior can portray how you are feeling - either rising above or feeling like you are going 'down.' The idea of inflation is also at play - so examine if your expectations in a situation are reasonable. You may be having an inflated sense of ego - or the dream can be suggesting you are full of 'hot air.' A hot air balloon ride can portray your attempt to rise above your current situation - and may also suggest that you do not have your 'feet on the ground.' Where we generally dream of planes when we are exploring ambitions - the balloon appears more as an vehicle that allows for a wider view or can represent escapism.
Inflating a balloon in a dream means begetting a son.
