To dream about the sky represents possibilities and potential. Your future looks bright.

Consider the phrase- 'reach for the sky' or 'the sky’s the limit'- you may have high aspirations and goals that you want to achieve.

If you are an ambitious person, perhaps the dream is telling you to reach as high as you can and to push yourself to get to where you want to be.

On the other hand if you were reaching towards the sky and couldn’t touch it- perhaps you have set your expectations too high and you need to be more realistic in your endeavours.

If the sky moved towards you as you raised your hand, it’s possible you are finding things too easy or someone is doing most of the work for you. Consider who else was in the dream with you for additional meaning.

A blue sky represents positivity- you are hopeful for the future and feel content about where your life is headed. Whereas a cloudy sky implies that you are uncertain and worried about what’s to come.

A red sky on the other hand could mean you see danger or fighting in your future- you’re afraid of something that threatens to disturb the peace you’ve created. How can you make yourself feel safe again or dispel this aggression?

If the sky darkened, perhaps you are struggling with your mental health at present. You may be struggling to see the light in a situation you are in. If you are feeling pessimistic about your future or your present, can you reach out to someone for help?

If something fell out of the sky in your dream, try to remember what it was. This item could represent a new idea or opportunity that has or will come your way. The dream might be encouraging you to take advantage of this as such chances don’t come along very often.

More negatively, if lots of things were falling from the sky you may be feeling overwhelmed right now.

Too much is happening at once for you and you are struggling to keep up, even if they are seemingly positive things.

Along the same vein, if the sky was falling on top of you, perhaps you are feeling pressure because of the culmination of recent events. What can you do to lessen this burden?

To see something unusual in the sky such as a UFO implies that you are starting out on something you don’t know a lot about.

There are things you have yet to discover or understand about a new role at work or a fresh relationship.

Give it time and you should get to grips with whatever it is once you learn more about it.
