Some people believe that when you drift off during a dream, it’s a sign that you’re not relaxed and are instead frustrated with your current lifestyle or circumstance. These beliefs have slightly evolved and have given rise to the term “drift off” to signify something deeper than disconnecting from your surroundings. For example, drifting off might mean that you need to address some self-care routine items or apologize for acting inconsiderate in the dream.
Drift in dreams signifies that we are losing control one way or another. When it comes to drifting and floating, according to some interpretations, floating means that there is a possibility of reaching higher places as our dreams can advance us towards spiritual aspirations which transcend the everydayness of reality.
