A kite in a dream is a symbol of freedom. Because a kite is often a child’s toy, in a dream, a kite often represents freedom from responsibility and worry, the kind of freedom that one enjoys as a child.
If you dream that you are flying a kite, it may be time for you to take a break and relax. Your dreaming mind may be telling you that you should pass some of your responsibilities on to someone else.
You have to hold on to a kite string or the kite will get lost, so a dream about flying a kite can be a sign that while you would like to take it easy, you are afraid to give up control completely.
A kite in a dream can represent a need to see the spiritual or abstract side of something while still being aware of the practical side (remaining “grounded”).
