Ian,
In your dream, the act of speeding with a toxic ex-friend may symbolize a certain recklessness or desire to move beyond a negative phase or influence in your life, especially if this is a person you've distanced yourself from. The loss of traction and subsequent flight off the edge could reflect feelings of losing control in a situation, but it's interesting that instead of ending in disaster, this transitioned into you gaining an extraordinary ability to fly. This might suggest that you have an inherent capability to overcome challenges and navigate through difficult times.
The lucid nature of this part of the dream is quite telling. Lucidity could indicate that, on some level, you're aware of the changes you wish to make in your life, or perhaps it's an expression of your desire for autonomy and control over your circumstances. The specific image of the twisted tea skyscraper is peculiar and could represent a goal or aspiration that you're aiming for, one that might seem unconventional to others or even to yourself. The frustration of missing the landing, however, might mean you're setting very high expectations for yourself and feeling disappointed when you don't immediately meet them.
The intensity of your dream was high, but as it wasn't a nightmare and didn't leave you with negative feelings, it seems you have a strong inner resilience. Instead of being overwhelmed by the fall, you were annoyed about not sticking the landing, which implies a confident attitude towards your own abilities and a focus on self-improvement. This dream could be reflecting a period of transformation where you're learning to harness your potential, navigate through life's unpredictability, and aim for high but perhaps unconventional goals. Remember, your reaction to the dream's outcome is just as important as the dream itself, and it indicates a healthy drive to succeed and adapt.
