Pilot

Pilots, Airline pilot, Cockpit

A pilot sits in the cockpit with a planeful of people counting on a safe arrival. In dreams pilots are about responsibility, skill and control over where things are headed. Being the pilot yourself can mean you're stepping into a leading role, perhaps one you're still getting used to. Watching a confident pilot at work may show you're relying on someone else's experience right now. An empty cockpit, or a pilot who leaves the controls, can come from a fear that nobody is really in charge of a situation you care about.
