I was on a plane speaking to a nice female stranger and doing a craft which reminded me of my mother who died over a year ago. I started crying surprised because I thought I was done crying randomly. I noticed that my family was on the plane not seated in my row and it was a full rowdy plane and I thought people were smoking but when I looked back I saw the sky. I looked forward and the top outer half of the plane was plummeting away and in smoke.
Dreams can be complex and often reflect our inner thoughts, emotions, and fears. In this dream, being on a plane can symbolize a journey or transition in your life. The fact that you were speaking to a nice female stranger may represent the desire for connection or support during this journey, possibly related to your grieving process for your mother.
The craft that reminded you of your mother could symbolize your connection to her memory and perhaps unresolved feelings about her passing. Crying in the dream may represent emotional release or the ongoing process of grieving. The surprise at still feeling emotional could suggest that you may have unresolved feelings or aspects of your grief that you are still processing.
Seeing your family on the plane but not in your row could imply feelings of separation or distance from them in dealing with your grief. The rowdy and full plane might represent chaos or distractions in your life that make it difficult to fully confront your emotions.
The image of people smoking, followed by seeing the sky and then the top half of the plane plummeting away in smoke, could symbolize a sense of danger or loss of control in your life. It may also indicate a fear of losing touch with reality or losing a sense of security.
Overall, this dream may be reflecting your ongoing struggle with grief and a need to confront and process your emotions in order to move forward on your personal journey. It could also be a reminder to seek support from others and to find healthy ways to cope with your emotions.
