To see balloons in your dream, indicates declining hopes in your search for love. A situation in your life will take a turn downward. Balloons also represent arrogance and an inflated opinion of your self. To see an ascending balloon in your dream, signifies frustrating conditions in your life in which you are seeking to rise above. On a positive note, balloons symbolize celebration and festivities. You need to acknowledge your inner child. To see or dream that you are in a hot air balloon, suggests that it is time to overcome your depression.
