-flying- flying in ur dream implies physically very energetic...it could oso mean u haf the power n confidence to resolve all existing problems...if u r not flying too high up, it could b dat ur expectations r too high...things aren't gg as gd as u expect dem to...but freud's followers believe dat flying implies the enjoyment u get from sexual intercourse...n flying high means u haf high sexual desires....well...hmm...
-naked- jung's followers tinks dat naked dreams represents ur repressed desires,the main points are the embarrassment u face and the reactions of others... fer eg...a shy indiv dreams of himself walking naked on the streets but does not appear embarrassed in the presence of others..denotes wadeva he's doing has nth to be shy of...n do not haf to take other's opinions into considerations...do not haf to care bout how others look at u....
